A fitting win for our Danny

-

25 yards that flew into the bottom – left corner.

Warrington captain Tony Gray’s turn and shot tested Ormson, as the contest began to open up, but County’s Number One for the evening sprung to catch the effort at full stretch.

Just after the first half’s midway point, County’s lead was doubled, as Bell, who had also been involved in the build-up to Warburton’s opener, nodded down for Dimaio to half-volley home.

Only a minute passed before that advantage was halved – and courtesy of a goal that matched County’s previous two for quality.

Following some neat exchanges around the edge of the area, Gray teed himself up to curl in a right-footed shot beyond Ormson’s left.

The ball was once more in the net before the break, only for County to be flagged offside.

Warrington launched several forays during the initial stages of the second half, with a view to getting back on level terms – Gray cut in from the right, before unleashing a low shot that Ormson kept out with one hand – ex-Hatter Richard Brodie nodded wide of the right post, and another former County striker, Josh Amis, who replaced Brodie on the hour, went closest of all with his very first touch, as he glanced a header against the bar, from a corner on the right.

The Hatters hit back with Mulhern firing wide of the right post, and both Warburton and Thomas seeing efforts tipped over by McMillan.

Then, with 13 minutes remaining, they extended their lead when Mulhern raced on to Ormson’s long clearance and buried his shot in the bottom left.

And one minute from the end, Bell added his name to the scoresheet with another welltaken goal – after the hosts had given away the ball in their own half.

RIP, Danny Bergara de Medina (July 24, 1942 – July 25, 2007).
