Race Warwick destroy Market Drayton Town to maintain second place in the standings

Market Drayton created the finest chance after an underhit back pass from Archie Hamp allowed Harlan Rodgers-Morris to enter the game. But, Dan Crane’s legs brilliantly stopped his attempt, and the rebounding shot from Callum Parker went just wide.

A penalty was given to calm any Warwick concerns when Callum Scott was found to have fouled a defender in the box and Harry White narrowly missed with a header. Burke took a step forward to slot in, and the Racers immediately got going.James Hancocks’ goal, which came after a White and Hancocks combination on the 25th minute, and Cameron Ebbutt’s outstanding strike, which came after Burke’s deftly headed layoff on the 39th, gave the Racers a three-goal lead. Market Drayton attempted to retake the lead, and Dan Crane was forced into a superb save. But, Warwick were not finished, and just before halftime Burke headed home a Charlie Jones chipped cross to make it four.

Ebbutt outperformed his excellent goal in the first half in the second half by chipping the keeper from 40 yards out who was just outside the six-yard box. Jones then swept in a shot for the sixth goal before calmly slamming home the winning goal with excellent control.Warwick travel to Lye Town on Saturday in a crunch promotion battle.
