Captain Ben Garrity scored twice as Port Vale opened their League Two campaign with an impressive 2-0 away win against Salford.

Salford, looking to bounce back from last season’s poor campaign which ended in a 20th place finish, failed to create many chances and never truly tested Connor Ripley in goal for Port Vale.
