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).

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.

Stockton completed the league double over luckless Reds for the second successive season, but had to work for the points on this occasion as a fine, determined effort from the hosts went unrewarded.

Reds will play their final home game of 2025 on Saturday when they host Stockton Town at Borough Park (3pm).

Workington’s mini revival came to a slithering halt in the Borough Park mud as ‘Brig finished the stronger, after what had been an even slog for seventy-five minutes.

Billy Barr has been in the Borough Park hot seat for a month now and his pragmatic approach to the task in hand seems to be working. Although still at the foot of the Premier Division table, Reds have shown a noticeable improvement recently and one defeat in six outings is a marked improvement on the half dozen matches prior to that. Reds won at Stocksbridge, under the final game of Brian Dawson’s tenure, and have added another six points under Barr’s watch.  With a bit of lu

Unforeseen circumstances left Billy Barr short on numbers for this Premier Division clash and, when David Symington pulled up pre-match and Leek opened the scoring in the thirteenth minute, he must have felt luck was against him and his team.

Whatever happens on Saturday, Reds will still occupy the bottom rung of the Premier Division ladder so the objective is to reduce the points gap between themselves and their fellow strugglers.

A fully committed, high-energy performance probably deserved a better reward than the point Workington obtained, but the majority, of another bumper Borough Park crowd, would have probably settled for a draw beforehand.

It has been a very strange season for Warrington Town and their supporters. In recent weeks, they have been producing the results that the majority of Northern Premier League followers expected of them from the outset.
