Today marks the 68th anniversary of Workington’s historic FA Cup 3rd Round tie v. Matt Busby’s Manchester United team at Borough Park.

They say winning football matches becomes a habit but not winning games is also habitual and, no matter what they do, Workington cannot buy a victory at the moment.

Lancaster City will come ‘first-footing’ to Borough Park on Thursday (3pm) with both teams seeking a change in fortune.

It might be rather dramatic to describe 2025 as ‘annus horribilis’ but it has certainly been a year we will all be keen to forget.  It has been a difficult twelve months for the club – on the pitch, at least.
