Meanwhile fourth-placed Oldham defeated Accrington Stanley 1-0 at home and there were a lot more goals at Bury who managed to get their youth game played before their first-team match was waterlogged off. The Shakers having a very entertaining morning as the goals rained in left, right and centre in an action-packed 5-5 draw at home to Stockport.
The final game to take place in the division this weekend also seeing plenty of goals as Macclesfield won 5-3 at Wigan. Carlisle's scheduled match at home to Rochdale was though waterlogged off, and now their game against Accrington Stanley at Clitheroe's Shawbridge Road ground on Tuesday afternoon has also fallen foul of the weather.
That meaning that the next scheduled fixture for the young Blues is at Stockport on Saturday. United now having played only two league games in three and a half months and 11 all season as they face a fixture backlog that sees them having to fit in 13 matches in two and a half months by the end of the season.
