King's Lynn next up for Workington Reds in FA Trophy

Workington Reds have been rewarded for their shock FA Trophy win at Tamworth with a home tie against King’s Lynn.

This means that the Norfolk side face two trips to Workington in seven days – that is a whopping 1,032 miles.

King’s Lynn are 12th in Blue Square North, four places above Workington and the winner of the tie will receive £5,000.

Meanwhile, Borough Park boss Darren Edmondson has completed two signings.

Shaun Vipond has agreed to join Workington until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old had been on loan at Borough Park for three-months, netting three goals for the club.

Last week Vipond went back to Carlisle United but had his contract terminated my mutual consent.

Edmondson also brought in Michael Tait, the son of former Carlisle United player Mick Tait.

Tait has been brought in as cover for Lee Andrews, who requires surgery on a knee cartilage problem that has caused him some irritation.

Assistant boss Viv Busby knows Tait from their time at Gretna together and the 20-year-old can also play in midfield.
