The Evo-Stik League Northern Premier

A special fund-raising golf day in aid of Warrington Town FC proved so successful it is set to become an annual event.

Taking place at Malkins Bank Golf Club in Sandbach and organised by the Evo-Stik NPL First Division North club's director Kevin Read, the event raised more than £1,500 for club funds.

The inaugural winners of the Warrington Town Golf Day Challenge were back of shirt sponsors the Tailormade Group, with partner Alistair Burns in fine form after recording the best round of the day.

Runners-up were short sponsors Peak Associates, with plumbing merchants Trinity, featuring former Warrington Town Wembley legend Ian Kinsey in the team, coming third.

A total of 16 teams took part in the Wire's event which is an important fund-raiser in the build up to the start of the new season which kicks off on Saturday 18 August.

Before then Warrington play a number of high profile pre-season friendlies, including the visit of Premier League Stoke City on Thursday 19 July. KO 7.30pm.

The annual Peace Cup against Crewe United from Lisburn, Northern Ireland takes place on Saturday 4 August. KO 3pm.
