The sleepless nights continue for Billy Barr as he contemplates his starting XI for Tuesday’s home game against Whitby Town (7.45pm).

This first ever meeting with Leicestershire outfit Quorn was the proverbial ‘one game too far’ and a jaded-looking Reds crashed to a painful defeat. But, having gone on an eight-match unbeaten league run and scoring in their last thirteen outings, there is enough credit in the bank to refrain from criticising an honest group of players. We are all well aware of the mitigating circumstances – the unprecedented injury list, the recent heavy schedule and a five-hour journey on t

Reds will spend most of Saturday on the motorway network as they venture into Leicestershire for their first ever meeting against Quorn.

Manager Billy Barr didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after his team extended their unbeaten league run to eight matches. He was reasonably happy with the overall performance but left to reflect on another serious injury to his threadbare squad. Inspirational skipper, Brad Carroll, was carried off before the half hour mark, becoming the latest long-term absentee. And, whilst he was being transported to hospital for assessment, the team lost its shape and rhythm. Brad Carrol

It will be club before country on Tuesday as Reds travel down the M6 for their NPL Premier Division clash versus Warrington Town at the GXO stadium.

A war of attrition which became a compelling watch, with Cleethorpes’ watertight defence trying to repel a Workington attack in good form of late.

Free-scoring Reds will have their work cut out at the Fibrus Community Stadium on Saturday as the division’s tightest defence will have to be breached.

Character and quality in equal measures contributed to another win on the road, with Reds adding to an already impressive record at Emley’s Welfare Ground. They had won there many years ago, and drew on another occasion, but this impressive victory surpassed the previous visits. And with the continued absence of half a dozen regulars, it was a successful return to the White Rose County for Billy Barr who had played on the same ground over forty years ago, in a schools’ final.

Another test of character for Billy Barr’s depleted squad with league action resuming in the Huddersfield area on Tuesday evening. After a fortnight away because of Cup and Trophy commitments, Reds renew acquaintances with Emley in what will be the tenth NPL Premier Division fixture of the season for both clubs.

For the second successive weekend, Reds were involved in a cup-tie producing six goals although, on this occasion, it was they who progressed to the next round of the competition. Their makeshift team did enough in the second half to secure their passage to the next stage of the FA Trophy, after Step 4 side Spartans had established a half time lead. But, with so many square pegs in round holes, this was a bonus win for Billy Barr’s depleted squad who face a daunting run of le

For the second successive weekend, Reds are on cup duty and host the first ever FA Trophy tie at the Fibrus Community Stadium. Fibrus Community Stadium Old foes. Blyth Spartans, travel from east to west for the umpteenth meeting overall, the first in the Trophy. Whilst Reds are preparing for the first game of their 49th campaign in the competition, Spartans have already got through two of the earlier qualifying rounds knocking out 1874 Northwich at home and Wythenshawe away.

Ahead of this weekend’s fixture, here’s the latest update from the treatment room.

Workington played their part in what had the makings of a cracking cup-tie in an eventful first half, only to lose their focus in the second and suffer more FA Cup agony against a rampant Bury.

Reds take a break from league action this weekend with the small matter of a mouth-watering FA Cup tie at Bury to contemplate instead.

The feel-good factor at the Fibrus Community Stadium continued after Reds extended their winning run to six matches. And, after comfortably disposing of the Derbyshire outfit who have gone even longer without a win, manager Billy Barr declared, Winning six games in a row at any level is a notable achievement and the squad deserve the plaudits for the work they have put in. It’s their best winning sequence for four years and extended by another three-goal haul, and nobody can

After the hectic league schedule in August, the action fluctuates between League, Cup and Trophy matches in September, although the aim is to maintain the winning feeling whatever the competition.
