The other game in Group A saw Rochdale defeat Blackpool 2-1 at home, that win for the 'Dale meaning Carlisle will finish fifth out of nine teams in the Group A mini-league come the end of the season.
Amazingly, going into the last week of the campaign, four teams are still able to win the Group B title, although current table-toppers Tranmere face a nervous morning having completed their fixtures two weeks ago. Chester and Walsall are two of the chasers and they drew 0-0 in Cheshire on Saturday, a result which helped the title hopes of neither side.
Stockport, like Walsall, missed the chance to move into pole position as they surprisingly slipped up 3-0 at fifth-placed Port Vale, the Hatters have a chance to make up for that defeat though when they face Walsall away next Saturday morning in a potential winner-takes-all clash. In the match between the bottom two teams in Group B Macclesfield ended their season on a winning note with a 2-0 victory at Wrexham.
