TRINITY END UNWANTED RUN

- By Rob Hughes

GAINSBOROU­GH recorded their first home win in four attempts.

But it could have all started differentl­y in the opening minute, when an innocuous back-pass was sliced towards his own goal by home ‘keeper Jon Stewart.

Ashley Worsfold hammered past Taylor from Shane Clarke’s cut-back.

Workington showed great character – and finished the first half on top.

Twice Stewart needed to pull off excellent saves to deny Niall Cowperthwa­ite, before flinging himself full length to keep out Conor Tinnion’s well struck free kick

Trinity got the crucial second goal six minutes into the second half.

Alex Byrne's cross found Damian Reeves at the back post. His downward header found the inrushing full back Ben Gordon.

Simon Russell swept home the third.

And Worsfold made it four before being substitute­d.

The home side looked to pick off the Reds as the game wore on, but it was Jason Walker, who reduced the arrears.

The veteran striker cut inside from the left to beat Stewart at his near post.
