Youth Team League Weekend Update

Last updated : 29 January 2009 By Thetashkentterror
It was a bad weekend all round for Carlisle as they were knocked out of the League Cup quarter-finals away to Tranmere, and in the league Wrexham went top of the table with a 3-2 win at Walsall, while Burnley came from 2-0 down to score three goals in the last 15 minutes and claim all three points at Rochdale.

That meaning that only two points now seperate the top three, although Burnley are in pole position with two games in hand on the young Blues and three games on the Red Dragons. This Saturday seeing a massive clash on the fixture list as Carlisle travel to Burnley in a match they can't afford to lose if they are to stand any chance of winning the title. The only other game played in the division last weekend being Port Vale defeat Bury 2-1.

In the league cup the weather was the winner yet again as five of the eight regional quarter-final ties were postponed. The two other matches played, bar United's, being Morecambe winning 4-3 on penalties at Shrewsbury after the game ended at 1-1 on 90 minutes, while down south Swindon hammered Swansea 5-0 on the road.
