Reds lose at home, Penrith win Cumbrian derby

Workington: The Reds just can’t catch a break lately. They lost again at home, this time to Guiseley, who are doing really well in the league. The final score was 2-0, and it’s been a rough patch for Workington.

It all started when Ollie Brown scored for Guiseley just 12 minutes in. The Reds had a chance to level things up when Kai Nugent’s corner hit the crossbar, but luck wasn’t on their side. Guiseley sealed the deal with another goal from Will Longbottom in the 86th minute.

Now, Workington hasn’t won in six games and is sitting in 16th place. They’ll be looking to turn things around next Saturday when they head to Bamber Bridge.

On the flip side, Penrith had a great day in the Cumbrian derby against Carlisle City. They won 2-1, and it was a big deal for them. Dan Hopper, a young loanee from Carlisle United, was the star of the match with both goals.

He got Penrith on the board early, scoring in the eighth minute, and then added another just before the hour mark. Carlisle managed to pull one back late in the game, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.

With this win, Penrith is now in 14th place, while Carlisle is struggling down in 17th. They’ll meet again on Tuesday at Gillford Park, which is a rescheduled match after the original was postponed due to bad weather.

Speaking of weather, it looks like the forecast is calling for sub-zero temperatures, so that could affect the game. Meanwhile, Kendal Town had their match postponed because of a frozen pitch. It’s been a tough winter for local football!
