MATCH REPORT: Workington AFC U18 8-0 Burscough U18

For the second time this season, Reds inflicted a heavy defeat on Burscough in a JPL fixture played at the St. Benedict’s campus.

Two months ago, Reds emerged 6-0 winners in a League Cup tie played at Borough Park and, once again, recorded an emphatic victory when league points were at stake.

Joe Carney (pictured) had a first half penalty saved but finished the game with the match ball after netting a hat-trick.  Ryan Handford and TJ Cueto had already got their names on the scoresheet before Carney struck with his first goal before half time, adding two more after the break.
