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.

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