Workington Reds continue their FA Cup journey after a 3-1 victory over visitors Shildon.

After a shaky start in the second qualifying round tie, Scott Allison steadied Reds' nerves with the opening goal on 26 minutes.

Shildon had a chance to get back into the game when they were awarded a penalty but Aaran Taylor continued his fine form when he saved to keep it at 1-0 at half time.

Reds got off to the best possible start in the second half when Conor Tinnion doubled the lead. Then Joe McGee made it 3-0 moments later.

Shildon got a second penalty with five minutes left on the clock and this time Billy Greulich-Smith put the ball past Taylor.

But it was Reds' day and they saw out the remainder of the game for a 3-1 win.

They will go into the hat for the draw for the next round on Monday.

Reds' league match on Tuesday night has been called off as opponents Marine drew their FA Cup tie and will be involved in a replay midweek.
