Workington Reds fixtures for new 2025/26 season revealed
The Reds now know their calendar for the new Northern Premier League Premier Division campaign.
Competitive action in Darren Edmondson's second spell in charge gets under way with the visit of Whitby, who finished level on points with 12th-placed Workington last season but four places below the west Cumbrians on goal difference.
The Seasiders, managed by the former Carlisle United defender Gary Liddle, will visit Workington on Saturday, August 9.
Workington's first away game comes four days later with a Tuesday night trip to Stockton Town, with their first Saturday away trip the following weekend at Hednesford Town.
August continues with home games against Warrington Rylands and Ashton United on Bank Holiday weekend before the month ends with an FA Cup first qualifying round tie.
Reds' festive period fixtures include an away trip on Boxing Day to newly-promoted Cleethorpes Town – entailing a 414-mile round trip for Edmondson's side and their longest trip of the campaign.
On New Year's Day the Reds host Lancaster City.
Easter weekend sees an Easter Saturday trip to Warrington Rylands and an Easter Monday home clash with Cleethorpes, while the Reds' final game is at home to Leek Town on April 25.
Reds say the latter will 'probably' be played at Derwent Park, amid plans for the demolition of part of Borough Park and the creation of the new Cumberland Sports Village.

Nick Cushing named coach of expansion Denver Summit in the National Women's Soccer League
DENVER (AP) — Former Manchester City women's coach Nick Cushing has been named head coach of the expansion Denver Summit in the National Women's Soccer League. The Summit, who join the league next season, announced the move on Wednesday. "Our team will play an attacking form of the game that excites our stadium and makes things difficult for our opponents. We want to create a winning team as well as a great experience for all of Colorado," Cushing said in a statement. Cushing took over as interim coach at Manchester City in March after Gareth Taylor was fired. He had previously served as head coach of the club from 2013 to 2020, winning the Women's Super League title in 2016 and the FA Cup in 2017. A native of Chester, England, Cushing was also former coach of the men's Major League Soccer club New York City FC from 2022-24. 'In order to be successful right away, you need people that have experienced environments like this, have built organizations, and have had success,' Summit general manager Curt Johnson said. "Nick brings world-class experience, a passion for player development, and a tactical vision that will excite Summit supporters. He's won major trophies and is the right leader to guide us into our first season and beyond.' Last month, the Denver team announced its name, crest and branding as it ramps up for its first season. The Summit and the expansion Boston Legacy will bring the league to 16 teams. Denver was awarded a franchise last December. The team will play in a temporary home for two seasons before moving to a new 14,500-seat purpose-built stadium in 2028. The club has also broken ground on a training center in Centennial. ___

Crystal Palace await CAS ruling as Glasner pushes for Europa League return
Glasner Believes Crystal Palace Are Destined for Europa League Despite UEFA Hurdle Optimism Reigns Ahead of Key CAS Verdict In the face of legal uncertainty and sluggish transfer dealings, Oliver Glasner remains unflinching. The Crystal Palace manager is convinced that his team will take its rightful place in the Europa League this season, even as the club's appeal against UEFA's ruling edges towards a decisive verdict. Palace's triumph in last season's FA Cup secured European qualification, but it came with a catch. UEFA, citing multi-club ownership regulations, relegated the Eagles to the Europa Conference League. At the heart of the issue lies John Textor, whose investments in both Palace and French side Lyon raised eyebrows in Nyon. The club, however, has not taken the decision lying down. A hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is scheduled for 8 August, with Glasner eager for clarity—and justice. 'We are waiting for the final decision, but we still are confident that we will be successful and that we will play Europa League,' Glasner told Sky Sports. 'August 11, we will know the decision and then we will start to prepare for Europe.' Photo: IMAGO Focus Unwavering Amid Off-Pitch Distraction For all the legal wrangling, Glasner insists his squad has not been distracted. Pre-season, he says, has been shaped by what happens on the pitch, not in the boardroom or courtroom. 'We didn't really talk about it. We were focusing on the things we could influence, and we have no influence over the decision from UEFA, we don't have influence on the decision from CAS, now, so it makes no sense to be thinking about it,' Glasner said. 'We are focused on what we have to do on the pitch, how to create this spirit again in the group, this togetherness, this commitment, and this is what we are doing day by day.' There is a sense that Glasner is determined to cultivate momentum, regardless of external forces. The first competitive outing of the season arrives on 10 August, when Crystal Palace meet Liverpool in the Community Shield at Wembley—a fixture Glasner views as validation, not a consolation prize. 'We want to play Community Shield, we want to play European football, so this is the reward for last season. It is not the punishment, it is a reward.' Transfer Concerns Linger Despite his positivity, Glasner did not hide his frustration at the club's subdued transfer activity. So far, just two new signings have arrived—left-back Borna Sosa and goalkeeper Walter Benitez—with total spending a modest £3 million. Glasner is clear that, if Palace are to navigate the dual demands of Europe and the Premier League, reinforcements are urgently needed. 'Why wait for two months? [Our transfer business] could be done quicker, but again, I have no influence. It is just my opinion,' Glasner said. 'It is a waste of energy to complain too much about it, so I focus on the players who are here to prepare them in the best possible way. Everything else is not in my influence.' Crystal Palace now find themselves balancing ambition with pragmatism—a club eyeing continental adventure, but with domestic realities yet to be addressed. Glasner's confidence may be the beacon that leads them through.
