Preview: Warrington Town vs Workington

Warrington Town gear up for their final home game of the Northern Premier League season by welcoming Workington to the Cal.Delivery Stadium on Saturday.

The Yellows will look to end their 2025/26 campaign strongly after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to local rivals Rylands on Easter Monday.

Paul Carden's men welcome a relegation-threatened Workington outfit to WA4 this weekend, with the visitors aiming for an important three points to stave off the drop in their last couple of fixtures.

The two sides earned a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at Borough Park in November, with the Yellows being pegged back after Max Thompson opened the scoring early in the second half.

Below, we've compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.

Team news

Scott Butler and Jay Harris will be unavailable for the final two fixtures of the season after being substituted through injury in the first-half of Easter Monday's derby clash against Rylands.

Paul Carden preview

Warrington Town manager Paul Carden says that his side must put their derby day defeat to Rylands behind them and finish the season strongly in their final two fixtures.

The Yellows succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to their local rivals on Easter Monday in front of a near 2,000-strong crowd at the Cal.Delivery Stadium.

Now, Carden has tasked his team to bounce back in their remaining games against Workington tomorrow and away at Morpeth Town next weekend to repay the fans for their fantastic support this season.

"The manner of our defeat in the derby was bitterly disappointing, for our fans especially.

"It was a tight game, and I thought we edged the first half, but we couldn't take advantage of the opportunities which came our way.

"Too often we're guilty of keeping doing the same thing when we're losing a fight, whereas what we should be doing is finding solutions, trying something new and using that in-game nous to find a way through opposition defences.

"We had a crowd of nearly 2,000 for the derby, a brilliant attendance, and that's what I'm most gutted about.

"We're here for those types of gates, but we need to give the fans more to come here for. We didn't play particularly badly against Rylands, but if we lose then it doesn't matter what happens between the two boxes.

"It's a massive disappointment for the fans, for ourselves, and we need to dust ourselves down.

"It's important to keep going until the end of the season, and that starts today."
