SENIOR TEAM FRIENDLY WITH CARNWATH

There has been a number of queries about the opposition for this friendly on Saturday 31st July at the Sheepmount. Carnwath AFC are members of the North & South Lanarkshire Amateur Football Association. This is a very new association, formed in December 2008. They play in the 2nd division of their league, which also has a 1st division and a premier.

We look forward to welcoming them to Carlisle on the last day of the month.

HONOURS EVEN IN FIRST FRIENDLY

City's senior side drew 3-3 with Gillford Park at the Sheepmount last night. Two goals from Mike Riding in the first 20 minutes saw Gillford off to a flyer, but Lee Otway pulled a goal back with a fine header. Shortly after the break, new signing Ian Grainger levelled the scores, only for Riding to complete his hat-trick and put his side ahead 3-2. With six minutes to go, Otway curled a superb shot into the top corner to level the scores again.
The match report is here.
