Vauxhall Motors started their pre-season with a brilliant 5-2 victory at home to Widnes, on a sunny afternoon in Ellesmere Port that saw minutes for a few academy players and trialists.
The first half started with great tempo from the Motors as it was made evident that they were the stronger team on the day. Mick McGraa’s men got in behind the high Widnes backline to force a save from the visiting keeper, a corner being the result.
There were four goals scored in the opening forty-five minutes by the hosts, they would get their first from that corner as Aaron Dawson found himself unmarked in the box. His strike sailed into the bottom right corner and there was no chance of a save being made this time.
