MATCH PREVIEW: North East trip for Youth team

The young Reds will head to the north east on Friday for their FA Youth Cup Preliminary Round tie against Morpeth Town (7.45pm).

They have progressed through one round without kicking a ball so far, with Preliminary Round opponents, Seaham Red Star, scratching from the competition.

Morpeth, who inflicted a heavy defeat upon Reds three years ago, have already got game time under their belts, winning at Guisborough Town in the previous round.

Some of the squad members have played County League football this season but most of them will be making their debut in the competition.

Last season we made an early exit following a 4-1 defeat at Pickering Town, with Jos Palmer scoring Reds’ consolation goal.

Workington’s first team have already been to Craik Park this season, losing 3-0 on the 3G surface.
