Worcester City 4Vauxhall Motors 1

A FAILURE to take full advantage of their early dominance cost Motors dear on Monday as their seven-match unbeaten run in Blue Square Bet North came to an unceremonious end.

Back in action for the first time in three weeks, the Ellesmere Port side made a flying start at St George’s Lane.

Top-scorer Obi Anoruo could and should have fired them in front in the second minute, but captain Josh Wilson showed him how to do it three minutes later with a trademark header from Neil Prince’s corner.

The visitors, playing some of their best football of the season, were looking dangerous every time they marauded forward and only a top-drawer save denied Prince.

But in-form Worcester weathered the storm and knocked the stuffing out of Vauxhall when they equalised on the stroke of half-time.

The hosts, who knocked Northwich Victoria out of the FA Trophy two days earlier, came out for the second half with all guns blazing and their sharper match fitness eventually told as they scored three times in the final 13 minutes to seal the points.

Motors, whose trip to Gainsborough Trinity last Saturday was postponed because of the wintry weather, head to Solihull Moors on Saturday (3pm).

Vauxhall: Clancy, Taylor, Noone, Hannigan, Nicholas, Brown, Mahon, Prince, Anoruo (Grice 60), Wilson, King. Subs: Mboa, Ritchie.

Attendance: 158.
