Statement.
.This is to confirm weโve asked
@ellmot7
to stop wearing these immediately before a game. We were unaware that they weighed 2 pounds with all the batteries and are concerned about sapping energy from his legs.

Weโre hearing that the Sonny Bill Williams signing for Toronto isnโt quite a done deal so weโre ramping up our offer. Weโre throwing in a lifetimes supply of Twentymanโs ice cream, and 4 Haighโs sausage rolls a week. Any ideas on a few more sweeteners? (Not jam)
Assistant coach โฆ
@NeilFrazer1
โฉ is isolating. He missed this week and the match and weโre all gutted for him. The lads and staff walked over to his house to sing the song. This one is for you Gus.โค๏ธ๐ตโช๏ธ
The
@TheRFL
and Kensington Palace have announced this morning that The Duchess of Cambridge has become the new Patron of the Rugby Football League. Welcome to our magnificent game from Workington Town and sorry for messing with the videoโฆ.
It was an absolutely ridiculous decision from Workington Town to suggest playing this game today. Especially with the game in doubt since Friday afternoon. You have to feel for the Halifax supporters who have already set off to Cumbria. Amateur and facial.
Weโre devastated to let you know that our team manager Brian Ritson passed away earlier today. Bri was Workington Town and his beloved Workington Town was Bri. He leaves a massive hole in our club.
We send our love to his family and friends. RIP marra. Always in our hearts ๐ตโช๏ธ
Weโve been on the end of plenty of banter since yesterday and thatโs fine but racism has no place in our sport. When this person gleefully screenshots that he has been blocked let it be known that it is for this post and nothing else.
Your new 2019 away jersey. Designed by young fan Jack Rudd who chose the colours and an interpretation of the design of the Cumbrian flag because heโs โproud to be Cumbrianโ
So are we and we love it! Between the mountains and the sea.....

Our deepest condolences to the family and many friends of Des Drummond who has passed away.
It was a joy to watch you flying down the wing at Derwent Park. Rest in Peace marra โค๏ธ๐ตโช๏ธ

@RyeWils
has decided to return to the community game. Weโd like to thank Rye for all his endeavours in the blue and white. Heโll be a great miss.
We thought (with his permission) weโd show you his farewell in the team WhatsApp. It explains why. See you soon marra! ๐ตโช๏ธ
Well done to the boys today. To do a double over the league leaders is a great achievement. Best of luck to
@OfficialBullsRL
for the rest of the season.

And so weโre home. Kitman Steve: last man at the club tonight and first man there this morning. Whatever your sport, hereโs to kit men and women everywhere. ๐๐๐๐
Well done lads. ๐ตโช๏ธ
A great end to a difficult season.
This is for all Town fans whoโve done it tough and for those that weโve lost over the last 18 months. ๐ตโช๏ธ
Our team manager Brian has just been laid to rest. A beautiful, uplifting service, packed to the rafters with his family and friends.
He leaves a massive gap in our club and our lives which weโll fill with our many memories of a lovely, decent man. Rest easy Clipboard . โค๏ธ๐ตโช๏ธ
Well. A fantastic season ends. Weโd like to thank all the supporters whoโve shown faith in us this season.
Those boys out there bust their guts for the shirt and we couldnโt be prouder.
Planning has already started for 2019. Everybody ready ready?
#ourtown
Today was the last ever home game for our kit man Les Horrigan. Heโs been involved with the club for over 40 years and kitman since 1977. Enjoy your rest marra and thank you for everything

Tonight we mourn the passing of another of our legendary past players. Les Gorley was a Hall of Famer and a forward who was hard, uncompromising but skilful with it. Fearsome on the pitch but a gentleman off it. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest easy marra ๐ตโช๏ธ
