Reds' young 'uns win 4-0 at Eden Valley and they're first into the county cup last eight Young Workington AFC side win 4-0 at Eden Valley to reach the Cumberland Cup quarter-finals

The Reds sent a young team to Eden Valley on Monday night and came home 4-0 winners. Jacobs, Glendinning, Hopper and Devoy got the goals, and they're first into the quarter-finals.

If you follow the Reds, and especially the young lads coming through, this one's for you.

Workington won 4-0 at Eden Valley in the Cumberland Cup, the Fred Conway County Cup, on Monday night. It was played at Frenchfield in Penrith, and the Reds are the first team into the quarter-finals.

It was mostly an under-23s side, with Dan Hopper and Louis Jacobs from the first-team squad getting a run out, Cumbria Crack says. The two clubs had never played each other before.

Jacobs got the first after six minutes, breaking clear and slotting it past Eden Valley keeper Llewellyn Gibbs. Left-back Freddie Glendinning went on a run and smashed in the second on 22 minutes. Hopper hit a cracker with his left foot from the edge of the box seven minutes before half-time, and Keane Devoy made it four two minutes after the break when the Valley defence dithered.

Mind, the club didn't dress it up. Its own report said the young side "were well below par" and that Eden Valley, from the Westmorland League, probably came out of it with most credit. Gibbs pulled off a few good saves to keep it at four.

Most of the other ties are on Saturday. Carlisle United against Mirehouse Juniors is on Tuesday 17 November, and Penrith played Kirkoswald at Frenchfield on Tuesday night.

Workington beat Eden Valley 4-0 in the Cumberland Cup, the Fred Conway County Cup, on Monday night. The tie was played at Frenchfield in Penrith, and Workington are the first club through to the quarter-finals.

The Reds fielded a largely under-23 side, with first-team squad players Dan Hopper and Louis Jacobs given game time, Cumbria Crack reports. It was the first ever meeting between the clubs.

Jacobs opened the scoring after six minutes, breaking through and slotting the ball past Eden Valley goalkeeper Llewellyn Gibbs. Left-back Freddie Glendinning made it 2-0 on 22 minutes with a burst into the area and a firm finish. Hopper added a third with a left-footed strike from the edge of the box seven minutes before half-time, and Keane Devoy made it 4-0 two minutes after the restart when the Valley defence hesitated.

The club's own report was frank. It said the young side "were well below par" and laboured at times, and that Eden Valley, from the Westmorland League, probably came out of the game with most credit. Gibbs made several good saves to keep the score down.

The other ties are due to be played on Saturday, apart from Carlisle United against Mirehouse Juniors, which is set for Tuesday 17 November. Penrith played Kirkoswald at Frenchfield on Tuesday night.
