Workington junior Reds U8s 25/26

14/04/2026

Nice run out V Grassroad Sharks U7’s 2025/26 a team who are keen on giving everyone a game and challenging themselves.
Match experience is always important to enhance players skills, where every situation is different to the one before it and decision making in game time can be crucial.
We showed our development against a younger team and scored some really good goals and used the ball well for the majority of the game.
Good luck to Grassroad in their footballing journey, onto wycl action on Saturday morning v Windscale for the Reds.

Tuesday gone saw us travel up the coast, a freindly at silloth, as the sun came out, the skills came out too. Fast play and good support from the team meant we were able to play nice and attacking football. Using the wide areas the team found space and tried their best to set up their team mates. Happy game and happy players.
Back to WCYL action this morning against a good keswick team.
Based on a strong defence, we took and created lots of chances. Nice finishing and some fantastic saves by the Keswick keeper we came away from the game delighted with the way the lads performed.
As always, lots to learn and develop but all 8 lads had a valuable input to the match and are moving along well.
2 more games coming up this week so lets see how they go. Up the Reds!

So close, the Reds travelled over to Washington in great numbers to compete in a tournament. A superb group section saw the team go unbeaten and top the group.

A brilliant semi final saw us pass into the final. A fast start by the opposition saw them take a lead which despite our best efforts we couldn't overcome.

Every one of the lads put in 100% and done themselves proud. Scoring 18 goals in 6 games with again multiple goalscorers with some absolutely brilliant screamers making the parents go wild! Defence was strong all day with the 3 goalkeepers all producing moments to keep the score against low.

We were all gutted we couldn't complete the day with the trophy but nothing is guaranteed in sport. Same effort and attitude will hopefully mean a trophy lift will be ours one day.

Yesterday the lads had a WYCL game vs St bees, various reasons meant the team had 5 players available. Those who were available put in a top effort, worked hard for each other, trying to link up with keeping the ball high priority. Four of the five scored goals, with cole providing a fantastic confident display in goals.
March sees the remaining 3 WYCL fixtures, a tournament over the north east and a friendly at cockermouth.
Lots of game time and fun to be had by the lads and siblings!

Joining a team brings all kinds if opportunities, yesterday we had the chance to go to Brunton Park and play of the pitch at half time, Thank you Ryan and Sarah for organising it all.
A quick fire game against stanwix saw the lads full of energy and enthusiasm . They done a great job and showed their skills off to all those watching.
Well done everyone. Hopefully more of these experiences can be brought in the future. They done everyone proud.
Our game v cleator the week before was a great battle against two evenly matched teams. The cleator team brought fight and endeavour and ofter wanted the ball more but we showed glimpses of what we can do when we get going and the boys learnt what they have to do to bring a result.
More friendlies and remaining WCYL fixtures mean the lads have plenty of games to lace the boots up and have a go and the lighter nights mean the calender is always been looked at.
Enjoy your football and look forward to springtime!
Thank you to all the sponsors

2 fixtures completed, 2 excellent games for the Reds. Goals all around the team, team work, positioning on the pitch, playing from one end of the pitch to threaten the opposition goal.. all greatly improved.
The confidence is growing in their own ability and as a squad, its fantastic to watch.
With the right attitude the next few weeks will again see the belief rise.
UP THE REDS.⚽️

Cheers to all the sponsors and families.
Relax!.

January has been a great month for the team... 3 games to start the year.. a visible improvement to team play, good mix of goal scorers and everyone getting on the pitch. Happy coaches so far with the calender filling up nicely. 1 more futsal fixture, a tournament to test the lads, then more WCYL fixtures to bring the game time needed to push and develop. Keep on going and hopefully more smiles on faces.

Big thanks to our sponsors again

Merry Christmas to All players, families, friends & everyone connected to Workington juniors F.C

We finished the the year in a very up and down fashion with a really great futsal game but then some of the team went over to Newcastle to play in a tournament where we played up a level and found the going tough but the lads stuck in till the final whistle and gave it a good go.

2025 came with lots of football for the team, they never disappoint with their commitment to learn and do their very best. They improved massively and the focus is definitely there to try and push the team to the next level from everyone involved with making sure they are enjoying playing and having a good time.

Hope you all have a nice time and look forward to seeing you all pitchside in 2026.
