Hinckley United started their Blue Square North campaign with a 1-0 win over Workington on Saturday.

Captain Craig McIlwain secured the points for the home side with a 28th minute header.

McIlwain also blocked two of Workington's best efforts, as the visitors battled for an equaliser in the second half.

Hinckley, who last won their opening match of the season in 1997, travel to AFC Telford on Tuesday.
