Workington Town Prepare for Tough Test Against Newcastle Thunder

​

Workington Town are gearing up for a challenging away fixture against Newcastle Thunder as they look to bounce back from last week’s disappointing performance.

The squad shows just one change from the previous selection, with Evan Lawther returning from injury to replace Toby Gibson. Head coach Jonty Gorley will be hoping his side can respond positively after their recent defeat to Dewsbury, where a late surge proved insufficient to change the outcome.

Newcastle Thunder, who claimed victory over Workington earlier this month in the 1895 Cup, head into the clash in strong form. The hosts have collected more points so far this season and present a significant challenge for the Cumbrian side.

Workington, however, travel with some confidence, having already secured points this season through a draw and a home win. Meanwhile, Callum Phillips has been recognised for his performances, earning a place in the Championship Team of the Month following an impressive defensive display.

Both teams will be aiming to continue their momentum as they meet in what promises to be a competitive Championship encounter.
