RACING Club Warwick claimed a 2-1 victory at Bedworth United to bring their four-game winless run to an end.

First-half goals from Louis Monaghan and Archie Hamp put the visitors in command at the break before Andre Wright’s late goal set-up a grandstand finish at The Oval.

The result means the Racers sit 14th in the Northern Premier League Midlands table.

Warwick broke the deadlock on five minutes when Monaghan finished a cross from the right past Liam O’Brien.

The home side went close to an equaliser as Wright’s header failed to find the target before Dexter Walters slashed an effort narrowly wide.

The visitors then spurned a golden chance to double their lead as Joe Willis sent a free header wide from six-yards out.




However, Warwick eventually found a second goal four minutes before the break when Hamp guided a header beyond O’Brien from James Hancocks’ cross.

Bedworth hit the woodwork after the break as substitute Leo Stone’s effort cannoned off the crossbar.


The hosts halved the deficit with nine minutes left to play when debutant Wright poked the ball past Sam Lomax from Stone’s through ball.

However, Warwick held firm to claim their first away win of the season.

Racing Club Warwick are next in action against Lye Town on Saturday, October 5 with kick-off at 3pm at Townsend Meadow.
