Warrington Town fell to a 3-2 home defeat against Workington at Cantilever Park on Saturday 18 April 2026, despite holding a two-goal lead at half-time. The result concludes the home campaign for the Warrington Town side, who are currently mid-table and on a five-game winless run.
The match began positively for the hosts, with Elliott Morris scoring after just 60 seconds following a throughball from Reece Daly. Daly later doubled the advantage with a free-kick at the near post. However, Workington mounted a second-half comeback to secure their survival in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.
The visiting side began their recovery in the 55th minute when a mix-up between Jack Doyle and goalkeeper Liam Isherwood allowed Jake Allan to score. Substitute Josh Palmer equalised in the 70th minute before Tom Stephenson completed the turnaround in the 81st minute. Workington were also the beneficiaries of a contentious moment in the first half, as Steven Swinglehurst remained on the pitch following an off-the-ball incident with Kallan Murphy.
The defeat marks the final home appearance of the season for manager Paul Carden and his team, who were relegated from the National League North at the end of the previous 2024-25 season. Warrington Town now turn their attention to their final game of the season, which will be played away against Morpeth Town on 25 April 2026.
