Saturday’s NPL Premier Division fixture at Borough Park versus Stocksbridge Park Steels, is an important fixture but no more important than our last seven games or, for that matter, the next seven. It is a situation we have found ourselves in after a disappointing start to the season, prompting a change of management in November. When Billy Barr was appointed, we had nine points in the bank and, although matters have improved dramatically since then, we are still playing cat

Workington arguably had the toughest task, with their game at Nethermoor, but extended the unbeaten run to six games with a battling performance.

Reds head for the ‘white rose’ county this weekend and, whilst it is always a good match day experience at Guiseley, imagine what it would be like if we actually won there for a change.

Workington’s great start to the calendar year continued with a third successive, hard-fought home win leaving them unbeaten in six, with just one loss in ten.

Not knowing which league you are going to be in from one season to the next has its advantages and disadvantages.

Borough Park has staged so much late drama this season, so no great surprise that we had to wait until the eighty-eighth minute for a goal.

Many Reds supporters are suggesting that Saturday’s NPL Premier Division fixture against Morpeth Town at Borough Park is a ‘must win’ game.

The semi final draw for the Cumberland Cup has presented Reds with an away tie at Westmorland League outfit, Kirkoswald.

Reds’ bewildering season took another dramatic twist in Lincolnshire. They avoided the late, late drama that has plagued their season, which has seen fourteen points dropped from the eighty-fifth minute onwards.

Two proud Yorkshiremen will go to war on Saturday as Lincolnshire take on Cumbria in Northern Premier League action.

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.

After two tough away games, life doesn’t get any easier for Reds with the small matter of the league leaders, Hebburn Town, due at Borough Park on Saturday (3pm).
