Workington Town's away fixture at Swinton Lions on Friday 2nd April will now be played on Sunday 20th June 3pm Kick Off.

10;05 pitch has been inspected by Match Commissioner and confirmed as playable. GAME IS ON.

Derwent Park was hit by heavy snowfall overnight. Club staff have been at the ground since 8am and the pitch is playable under the snow. Staff are currently clearing the snow and at this stage the game will be on. Please monitor this site for Live updates.

There was some better news as it was confirmed that Stuart Rhodes will not require an opereation on his torn achilles tendon. This was confirmed after visiting consultants earlier this week. Althouigh he is likely to be out for around 6 to 8 weeks - this means he should be back in contention much quicker than was feared.

The only blackspot on yesterdays game was an injury to Stuart Rhodes in the last quarter of the game. It appears he has damaged his achilles tendon and is likely to be out for some weeks.

Following heavy overnight frost today's game has been postponed. A new date will be announced next week after discussions with Swinton officials.

A pitch inspection took place at 9am this morning, the ground is extremely hard and as a consequence the game has been called off.

Details of fixture re-arragement will follow.

The Derwent Park pitch was fairly hard at 10:00 am today (Saturday) and very borderline. Club officials and local referee commisioner Cliff Hodgson had a further inspection at 2pm and the pitch was playable.

Another inspection will take place at 9am on Sunday morning, where we can take a view after any overnight frost, and hopefully confirm that the game will be on.

Updates will continue to be provided.
