MARK Beesley was once again keen to pay tribute to his Warrington Town side’s organisation and resilience as they extended their unbeaten run despite being reduced to 10 men.

Matt Grivosti was dismissed on the hour mark for a professional foul, leaving Yellows to repel visitors Boston United for 30 minutes at Cantilever Park.

They did so to earn a creditable 0-0 draw and even had the clearest opening in the closing stages when Isaac Buckley-Ricketts headed wide when unmarked.

In the circumstances, though, it was a point Beesley was happy to take as Town made it five league matches without defeat.

“When you go down to 10 men with half an hour to go against a team as good as Boston, you’ve got to take a point,” he said.

“We defended really well – I think they got through us once but our shape, our ability to move and things we’ve worked on for a few weeks was there to see.

“We’ve had the best chance and nine times out of 10, Isaac scores and we come away with a brilliant 1-0 win.

“You can’t always win and if you can’t win, make sure you don’t lose. Our togetherness and team spirit was there in abundance today.”

The major talking point of an otherwise uneventful game came when the visitors counter-attacked at speed from a Town corner, with Sam Smart being sent through on goal only to be tripped by the retreating Grivosti.

Referee Matt Scholes immediately flashed a red card at the winger but Town were relatively comfortable in holding Boston at bay from that point, with only a Keziah Martin shot straight at Dan Atherton causing any alarm.

“It’s a shame because at that point, we’d got a foothold in the game and started to look dangerous, especially down that left side,” Beesley said of Grivosti’s red card.

“Obviously, it’s a professional foul and that’s a red card but the only thing I’d question is whether or not their lad was getting the ball.

“He’s dived a lot all game and the ref should see that, but it’s probably a foul and we have to move on.

“We spoke a lot earlier in the season about going down to 10 men, because we knew it would happen at points.

“It’s important we have a good shape about us and we’re constantly working on that, so when it does happen we can adapt to it.

“Normally when teams go down to 10 men, they get that bit of extra resilience and we’ve got that in abundance.”
