Cleethorpes Town continued their pursuit of promotion with a 2-0 victory over Warrington Rylands in a tightly contested match. The game, played under challenging windy conditions, saw both teams create early chances before the decisive moments arrived.

In the opening stages, Cleethorpes’ Lewis Hey tested Warrington’s goalkeeper Luke Pilling, who managed an impressive save to keep the scoreline level. Warrington responded with a notable effort from Ben Hardcastle, whose shot struck the crossbar, denying the visitors an early lead.

The breakthrough came during stoppage time in the first half when Cleethorpes’ Josh Walker capitalized on a persistent attacking move, slotting the ball into the net to give the home side the advantage heading into the break. Buoyed by a strong breeze at their backs, Cleethorpes controlled the second half, generating several scoring opportunities but encountering resistance from the visiting defense.

Despite their dominance, the home team had to wait until the final ten minutes to secure the win, with Walker scoring again to seal the points. This goal marked Walker’s third in seven days, underscoring his pivotal role in Cleethorpes’ ongoing promotion campaign.

The result keeps Cleethorpes Town firmly in contention as they aim to secure a place in the higher division, while Warrington Rylands will look to regroup and bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.
