Knowing they were safe from relegation before a ball was kicked took away that competitive edge from Workington’s performance but, apart from a goal on the last day ever at Borough Park, it was party time in the sun.

All roads lead to Borough Park on Saturday as Reds bring down the curtain on their thirty-ninth season of Northern Premier League football.

We all know that lightening can strike the same place twice and this result provided further evidence to support the theory.

Two crucial league games remaining in our thirty-ninth campaign of Northern Premier football and, as things stand, there is still work to do.

Here we are in mid-April with matters still to be resolved at both ends of the NPL Premier Division table. And in this part of the world, that means Workington is still embroiled in the battle to avoid relegation and a return to Step 4 football. Another below par performance, and defeat by the odd goal in three, will increase the tension amongst supporters for another week at least as three more points slipped away. This particular fixture has never produced a goalless draw

Just two away games remaining for Billy Barr’s Workington with the first of those on Saturday at mid-table Ashton United (3pm).

A priceless goal from Dan Hopper towards the end of a bizarre game kept Workington’s survival hopes alive, as the fight to avoid the drop intensifies.

Over the last eight days, we have seen the best and worst of Workington and a cruel reminder of how tough and demanding the NPL Premier Division can be. In their last home game, they swept aside title challengers, Hednesford Town, but were quickly given a reminder of reality after this abject showing, against a Rylands outfit who could feature prominently in the play-offs. Reds looked a pale shadow of the team that had pieced together an impressive nine-match unbeaten run and

If Reds are to continue their excellent form over a hectic weekend, they are going to have to take points from two of the three teams they have never beaten in Northern Premier League action.

A warm feeling emerged at a bitterly cold Borough Park as Reds emerged deserved winners against promotion chasers, Hednesford.

Both Reds and Hednesford Town have the same objective over the final month of contrasting seasons.

Reds will take a break from the pressure of relegation worries on Tuesday when they head for Frenchfield, Penrith to take on Kirkoswald in the Cumberland Cup semi-final (7.45pm).

A tense nervous affair with both teams all too aware of the importance of this fixture. But Workington, when not at their best in a poor first half, did not flinch and, ultimately, just about deserved three priceless points.

With just a week before the registration deadline, manager Billy Barr has been busy trying to add to the squad for those so important last seven games of the season.

If anything was going to get the better of Workington in yet another important fixture at the foot of the table, it was their own state of mind.
