Key incidents from the Workington game
United faced local side Workington in their last Saturday friendly of pre-season at Borough Park.5 mins - It was a very tight start as the sides battled for possession in midfield.

9 mins - Gillies delivered the first corner of the day but Potts couldn't keep his header down and it looped high over the target.
12 mins - The Reds got forward in numbers and Gibson brought Coleman into play with a back heel on the left flank. The big striker stepped inside and shot from distance but Gillespie was well placed to make the save.
19 mins - A flick from Beck took Dempsey into the area. His cross was blocked for a corner and Archibald-Henville sent his header from that one high into the air. Jamieson moved across to pluck it from beneath the bar.
30 mins - A clash of heads between Beck and Wordsworth took the Carlisle man from the pitch as he looked dazed. Gillies swung a free kick into the box when play restarted and Smith did well to guide it away for a corner as Potts lurked. GIllies took charge of the set piece again and a flap from Jamieson brought a half chance for Meppen-Walter as the ball streaked across the face of goal.
33 mins - Gibson delivered a drilled corner when Workington got forward and May connected with a powerful header. Symington held his position and cleared it off the line as it angled for the top corner. A second corner caused more problems as May was once more the target.
