Pex Hill 3 Grange Sports 1

A THIRD Pex Hill goal five minutes from time killed off Grange Sports hopes of rescuing a point on Saturday.

On the stroke of half time Kevin Ferrigan netted an equaliser to Aaron Allen's 30th-minute opener in the Warrington and District League Division One clash.

Pex Hill rode their luck early on, with a clearance off the line keeping Grange at bay.

Substitute Aaron McGarvey shored up the Hill defence in the second period and Steven Brandreth netted from a corner to put them back in front.

Captain Terry Cartwright converted the penalty late on to confirm Grange's third defeat in five outings.
