Billy Barr introduced himself to the Reds squad before kick-off then watched the U23s extend their winning run to six matches.

If Guiseley could have hand-picked a fixture to kick-start their season, I’m sure they would have opted for Workington.  They have pieced together an impressive record against the Cumbrians over the years and Borough Park has proved a happy hunting ground in the past.

And because of the distance between the clubs, the match was played half-way at a venue in Bolton. Reds got off to a cracking start and were ahead after thirty seconds thanks to Ted Thomson’s first goal for the club. It stayed that way until midway through the second half when the Aussies equalised. But Reds secured their first away win and the points when the in-for

A déjà vu moment for caretaker manager, Brian Dawson, who, for the second time this year, found himself in charge of team affairs at Morpeth’s Craik Park.
