FULL-TIME - Workington Reds 1 Carlisle United 3
88 min: GOAL! Workington Reds 1 Carlisle United 3 (Klukowski) - The big trialist makes it a comfortable victory for United. Rothery wins the ball on the right and lays it off for Blake. He advances forward and then sends in a cross that is flicked on and finds Klukowski sliding in for his second of the game.
85 min: United break forward again down the left as Blake sends Robson through on goal. He puts his shot wide of Taylor's net though, opting to go for the near post instead of shooting across goal.
81 min: It's nearly an equaliser for Reds as McCluckie gets on the end of a cross from the right but he heads well over the bar.
80 min: GOAL! Workington 1 (Henney) Carlisle United 2 - Instant reply from Reds! Unfortunately I missed it as I was busy typing the last update! I'm told it was a mix-up between Gillespie and Swinglehurst that allowed Matt Henney to put the ball into the empty net.
79 min: GOAL! Workington 0 Carlisle United 2 (Klukowski) - United make it two and it's the trialist Klukowski who scores it. Good break by Rothery is stopped and the ball falls to Klukowski. He plays it wide to Raven who gets to the byline and sends in a low cross that Klukowski slides in to make it 2-0.
75 min: It really hasn't been a very eventful second-half, with neither keeper having a real save to make.
69 min: United make another change, with Liam Davison struggling after that earlier knock, being replaced by Jonny Blake.
68 min: Murphy smashes a clearance high into the Workington half and Dobie closes down on the ball but Taylor claims it well under pressure.
67 min: Good build-up play between Klukowski and Rothery sees the latter send ina cross shot, but it's well wide of Taylor's goal. Reds make another change, with former United player Tony Hopper coming off for for Adam Main.
65 min: Klukowski picks up the ball 20 yards out and turns his defender but his left-foot shot is soft and easy for Aaran Taylor.
62 min: Davison goes down with what looks like a knock to his ankle. Neil Dalton comes on to give him some treatment. Meanwhile Reds make a change, with Callum Ruttledge coming off for Dan Shannon.
58 min: United make a couple of changes, with Jan Klukowski replacing Madine, and Steve Swinglehurst coming on for Michael Burns.
56 min: Quick clarification - Matt Henney is actually still on, it was Gari Rowntree who also came off at half-time.
54 min: Not a lot happening so far, with United dominating most of the posession.
48 min: Just had it confirmed that the crowd is 719, with a decent of following of United fans at Borough Park today too.
46 min: Having a few technical problems here but the second-half has now kicked-off. Slight change from that second-half line-up, as Klukowski is still on the bench and Madine continues upfront.
1601: Both teams are now back out, with United's second half line-up just below and Reds bringing on goalkeeper Taylor and Campagna and Langford for Caig, Casson and Henney. United's line-up:
Carlisle 2nd Half - Gillespie, Raven, Keogh, Murphy, Burns, Rothery, Davison, Bridge-Wilkinson, Robson, Dobie, Klukowski. Subs - Blake, Aldred, Cook, Lakeland, Swinglehurst.
1547: Half-time and United go in with a deserved lead but it has been a fairly close game. United's whole team will change for the second-half, with only Michael Burns starting the second period (at left-back). More from me shortly!
HALF-TIME - Workington Reds 0 Carlisle United 1
42 min: United win a corner that came from another long punt forward by Collin. Tinnion takes it short to Kane who whips it into the far post looking for Madine but it's well cleared by the Reds defence.
39 min: Reds go the closest so far to getting that equaliser. Hopper somehow stays on side and it sits up nicely for him. He hits a good half-volley but Collin saves well.
37 min: United win another corner on the left. Taylor takes it again and it's a good one into the six-yard box but Caig commands his box well and collects the ball.
34 min: Great build-up by United down the left by Tinnion and Horwood sees a cross in that Madine lays off for Thirlwell, who sends in a stinging shot from 25 yards that clips the crossbar and goes to safety.
32 min: Burns picks it up in midfield and has a go 35 yards out but his shot goes well wide, despite getting plenty of power behind it.
31 min: United break at pace down the right and Anyinsah flicks it forward for Tinnion. He gets to the byline but his cross is well blocked by Rowntree. Tinnion takes the corner short but it's wasted as he's closed down quickly.
29 min: Tinnion goes on a mazy run and has a dig at goal but it's blocked and goes out for a corner. Taylor takes a deep corner that's headed back across goal by Madine but is well cleared by the Reds defence.
24 min: United have a couple more chances to extend their league. First chance saw Kane play a great ball across the pitch to Taylor, who beat his man twice and then sends a cross in that sees Caig get a good punch in with Anyinsah challenging him. The next chance sees Madine flick down a long ball for Anyinsah but his shot is well blocked by Andrews.
21 min: United go close to a second as Harte whips in a free-kick and the ball takes a deflection and is tipped over by Caig. The resulting corner from Taylor is poor and easily cleared.
19 min: Reds almost equalise but it's great goalkeeping from Collin. Some sloppy play in midfield by United sees Reed sneak in on goal. Collin makes a great save but Ruttledge has a chance from the follow up but Collin recovers to make a superb second stop.
16 min: Reds win a free-kick about 30 yards out just inside from the right-wing. Anthony Wright steps up and hits a low shot that deflects off the wall and is easily claimed by Collin.
14 min: Reds win a corner after Kane heads it out at the far post. Reds take the corner short, and it's whipped in by Rowntree to the far post, where Collin misses it and Reed connects with a header but he puts it wide. Should really have made it 1-1.
11 min: Joe Anyinsah is brought down 30 yards from goal.. Harte steps up and sends in a good effort that's heading for the bottom corner but Caig gets across and makes an unorthadox save with his feet and the ball is cleared by the Reds defence.
8 min: Plenty of ex-United connections in the Reds line-up today, none better known than Tony Caig, who plays in nets for the West Cumbrians this afternoon. His opposite number Collin was at Reds last season before moving to Brunton Park and he'll be coached by Caig this season after he agreed to takeover as United's goalkeeper coach.
6 min: Matt Henney wins a corner for Reds after a good block by Gowling. Anthony Wright sends in the corner but it's well headed away by Gowling.
2 min: GOAL! Workington 0 Carlisle United 1 (Gowling) Gary Madine wins a free-kick on the left wing after being bundled over. Harte takes the free-kick and whips it in to the far post. It misses everyone but Madine sneaks in at the far post, smashes it across the six-yard box and Josh Gowling scuffs the ball into the empty net from a few yards out.
1500: United kick-off towards the town end. They'll be wearing all black this afternoon, with Reds in their traditional red shirts and white shorts.
