With the Sheffield game to rearrange how far do we really want to go in the cup. It would be a nightmare to play midweek.

Re: Workington Cup Game. : Sun Mar 18, 2018 8:32 am  

I am wondering if the game will be on today. Cumbria Police have advised that all non essential travel should be avoided. So things must be bad.
We had planned to travel up today and stay over, but have decided to heed the advice and stay at home.
We could well do without it being postponed though, as fixtures will start to build up.

The games is on. Apparently there is no snow it is just very cold. There are at least a couple of Bronco supporters there, they travelled up overnight.

It will be covered on BBC Radio Cumbria along with the Haven game.

Seem to be struggling a bit with the grass pitch and without Sammut and others.

Certainly good preparation for Swinton next week.

A narrow 2 point victory.
Shows how weak the squad depth is.

Really can't see any benefits of progressing to the next round.

Just hope there were no injuries.

As someone said earlier, winning is a habit, we kept it up - a win is a win. Everything was against us as far as I can see, length of trip, weather, pitch and a team relegated last year who would have wanted to prove something - not, sure it says anything about the depth of the squad.

Agree about injuries

A wins a win, so well done to the team. Think they’ll learn from that particularly the younger players, it was never going to be easy.

Though might want to reflect that our league position is based pretty much on home games so far. Including today both away games have been relatively tight. The league game was hardly a commanding performance though the press have perhaps glossed over it.

What an odd view. We travelled the length of the country, beat a highly motivated team whilst blooding two debutants and giving more air time to another to, without Sammut, I'd say very very good outcomes.
