FOOTBALL TO BE PLAYED AT DERWENT PARK!

We welcome two teams to play as we support the sporting community!

Workington AFC and Workington Town RLFC are pleased to announce that, in an arrangement that further strengthens the growing partnership between the two clubs, Derwent Park will host some matches for the Reds Juniors open age teams, and also for the Reds Ladies first team this season. 

Reds’ Community Director Ross Peacock said “Given the work that has gone into the Borough Park pitch over the summer, and the fact that it has struggled to stay in the best condition through the last couple of winters, this is a real boost not just to the ladies and open age teams, but to the club as a whole. We are very grateful that these sides will have the opportunity to play in such a great stadium, while we will be giving the Borough Park pitch the chance to rest between first team and reserve team games. We very much appreciate Workington Town’s generous offer to host these matches.”

Workington Town Chair, Les Smallwood, said: "We’ve always had a good relationship with the Reds and the last year has seen it strengthen further. As a club we want to see all sport thrive in our town, and for Derwent Park to be used as a community asset, so we’re delighted that we’ll be able to enjoy some football this season."
