After a disappointing run in the league since Christmas, Carlisle have started to turn things around a little of late having picked up three wins in their last six matches, and two in their last three. The latest of those victories coming with a good 1-0 win at high-flying Stockport County's Manor Farm training ground, the Hatters currently sitting in fourth place in the table.
It was once more a young side that took to the field for the Cumbrians, with Mark Gillespie as the only second year in the starting eleven with Ryan Bowman now on first-team duty. And it was one of the youngsters that got the winning goal of the game for Carlisle as 16-year old Adam Gill scored just after the half-hour mark, after only five minutes earlier coming on as a substitute for the partly injured Ben McKenna.
United defending well for the rest of the game and then actually fielding replacement goalkeeper Jon Ball upfront in the closing ten minutes as a substitute for Mark Beck. The young Blues now having only two days off before they are back in Cheshire again when they face Macclesfield on Saturday morning in their third last game of the season.
