Match Preview

Witton begin their Buildbase FA Challenge Trophy campaign on Saturday when they make the long trip north to Workington. The two clubs have faced each other on a regular basis in the competition in recent years with the Cumbrians prevailing the last time, following a six-goal thriller at Witton which led to a replay. Both teams go into the game in decent form, Witton having won four of the last five games in all competitions whilst Workington have suffered defeat only once in their last seven league games. The game represents the third meeting between the two clubs this season and Witton have had the better of the two previous encounters, taking four points off their opponents. Saturday's game is entirely different with progression in the non league premier competition at stake and financial incentives to go as far as possible. Workington provide Witton with a difficult test and they will have to be at their best to have a chance of coming through it. Kick off at Borough Park is 3pm.

Directions: Leave the M6 at Junction 40 and take the A66 towards Workington. On reaching Workington Town Centre you will come to a T-Junction, where you need to turn right towards Maryport (A596). At the second roundabout, take the 3rd exit (so that you are almost coming back on yourself) onto the A597 (signposted Town Centre & Station). Continue past the Rugby Stadium on the right. Further on you will come to a Tesco’s superstore on your right and the Borough Park entrance is opposite.

Parking: There is some car parking available at the ground which is free. Otherwise there is some street parking in the nearby vicinity. There is the Tesco's store located opposite to the ground but I am unaware if there are parking restrictions in force so please check before parking there.

Additional Information: Should Saturday's game be drawn, the replay will take place at The NetDec Stadium on Tuesday night with a 7.45pm kick off. Should the game be decided on Saturday, we are scheduled to host Farsley Celtic on Tuesday night also 7.45pm in an Evo-Stik Premier Division fixture but that game is dependent on the outcome of their FA Trophy game against South Shields.
