With it being so tight at the top of the table it was all change again this weekend as only two sides in the top five were in action, with both of them winning 4-1. League leaders Preston being victorious 4-1 at Morecambe, while Carlisle, two points behind but with a game in hand won at home to Stockport, the United goals being scored by Dave Symington, Tom Berwick and then Mark Beck with a brace.
The only other game played in the division at the weekend also finishing in a 4-1 scoreline as Shrewsbury picked up a good three points on the road at Macclesfield. Next Saturday it's mainly League Cup action but as Carlisle lost at Bradford City on penalties in round one they are able to fit in a league fixture, United visiting Blackpool, weather permitting, for an 11am kick-off at the Tangerine's Squires Gate training complex.
