At the thirteenth attempt, Workington returned to winning ways and whilst they couldn’t replicate the fluent, attacking football they produced on recent away days this display of courage, commitment and character epitomised the sort of qualities needed for a relegation scrap.

Billy Barr’s team will have three opponents to overcome on Saturday – the weather, the pitch and mid-table Ilkeston Town.

It might be the last full ninety minutes under the lights so Reds’ Cumberland Cup tie v. Unisun Athletic at Borough Park on Tuesday (7.45pm) may hold some significance.

Workington have never lost in sixteen league meetings against Cables but it felt like a defeat when they conceded another late goal and had to settle for just the one point when, undoubtedly, they deserved all three.

Billy Barr will be hoping for a positive response after what he considered the worst team performance under his tenure. Reds slipped to a narrow home defeat last week against the league leaders, Hebburn Town, with the manager angry after the well below par display.

Workington were seconds away from a morale boosting victory after another gallant display at Broadhurst Park.

Reds will travel to play FC United of Manchester on Tuesday – the third meeting between the sides this season.

The Towbar Express Stadium emerged as a green oasis in snow covered North Yorkshire after a challenging cross-country journey.

Workington’s decent record at the Towbar Express Stadium will count for nothing on Saturday (3pm) as they attempt to obtain a first league win in nine outings.  They take on a Whitby Town team who will be favourites for the points in the 14th versus 21st encounter, with the hosts attempting to complete a first ever league double at Reds expense.

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.

Saturday’s journey to North East Lincolnshire proved to be Reds’ longest trip of the season and took us to an area of the country we haven’t visited since playing at Grimsby Town’s Blundell Park back in 1971.

It was a case of too little, too late as Reds came to life late in the day in their first ever meeting against Cleethorpes Town, a young club on the up.

Reds will play their last game of the year on Saturday when they make their way to Humberside for a first ever meeting against Cleethorpes Town.
