Reds on the road

Reds travel to Skelmersdale United tonight (7.45pm), mindful of last season’s outcome there. They head for The West Lancashire College Stadium hoping to put in a similar performance with a different outcome.

United emerged 1-0 winners on Bank Holiday Monday despite Reds dominating the game for long periods.

Whilst Derek Townsley’s men were being held by Sutton Coldfield Town on Saturday, Tommy Lawson’s side got off to a great start with an impressive 3-1 success at Ilkeston.

Reds defensive qualities will certainly be put to the test against a Skelmersdale outfit who move the ball about quickly and efficiently.
Derek Townsley reported no injuries after Saturday with the same squad expected to travel for the first away game.

The Social Club at Stormy Corner welcomes away supporters but reminds everyone that alcohol is not permitted outside the building, in the stands or on the terraces.

For those unable to travel to the game, John Walsh will provide updates on BBC Radio Cumbria with Paul Armstrong operating his Live Scoreboard facility via the website.
