What A Load Of Old Balls (Part Two)

Last updated : 22 October 2005 By Thetashkentterror
So it's a draw that provides few fireworks I'm afraid for Carlisle as we are faced with a long away day to Gloucestershire on Bonfire Day, Saturday 5th November.

I'm sure there were groans all round when Roy Bentley, part of Chelsea's 1955 league winning side, pulled the number 11 ball out of the bag after Sir Tom Finney CBE had already guaranteed the Robins of Cheltenham a home draw.

The only bright point is that the team can take heart from their 3-2 league victory on the same ground five weeks ago. Hopefully the Blues can provide the same scoreline as then and the draw will be kinder to them in the Second Round.
