It is with deep sadness that we report the passing of our former, long-serving groundsman, Jeff Curwen.

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

Reds were still coming to terms with life in the Northern Premier League in the late seventies and supporters, having adapted from following a struggling Fourth Division team, were now welcoming some famous non-league teams to west Cumbria.

Every Workington supporter worth his salt could give you chapter and verse on the 1958 cup tie versus Manchester United but that is just one of ninety-three FA Cup matches we have played in the competition at Borough Park.

NPL chairman, Mark Harris, was on the guest list for the Ilkeston Town game and was accompanied by his Isthmian League counterpart part, Nick Robinson, and his wife, Andrea.

Any Reds supporters, born after 1983, probably missed out on one fantastic Borough Park experience.

It is twelve months since we lost our good friend Gary Messenger, who will always be remembered by the Workington Reds family.

During our time as a Football League club, we experienced some wonderful matches in the Football League Cup.  Over seventeen seasons, we established a fine reputation as cup fighters - emerging as giant killers on numerous occasions, holding First Division opposition three times and actually knocking out a top flight opponent in a replay on their own ground.

We are delighted to announce the loan signing of forward Daniel Ogwuru from Morecambe FC until the end of the season.

The January 2026 results of the 200Red draw has been made.

With a limited number of games left at Borough Park before we make the move to the Fibrus Community Stadium this could be your last chance to say goodbye to the old girl, staring with 5 crucial games.

Borough Park became our new home in late 1937 but the first team didn’t win too many trophies to adorn the boardroom at HQ.

Following our election to the Football League in early June, 1951, the Workington supporters eagerly awaited the publication of the fixture list for Reds’ inaugural season in the Third Division North.

Today marks the 68th anniversary of Workington’s historic FA Cup 3rd Round tie v. Matt Busby’s Manchester United team at Borough Park.

It might be rather dramatic to describe 2025 as ‘annus horribilis’ but it has certainly been a year we will all be keen to forget.  It has been a difficult twelve months for the club – on the pitch, at least.

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.

As preparations progress for the construction of the new community stadium, Workington Town RLFC and Workington Reds AFC have been working closely to ensure the Fibrus Community Stadium is ready to serve as the Reds’ temporary home throughout the build period.

The December 2025 results of the 200Red draw has been made.

As our Grassroots and Community Matchday experience continues to grow we are looking to recruit a volunteer co-ordinator.

Family, friends and notable members of the football fraternity turned out in force to say a fond farewell to the former Workington manager.
