Carlisle took to the road this week visiting North League rivals Morpeth
With a somewhat depleted side missing some sixteen squad members
Expectations may have ben a little low, but a big plus was the return of
Insperational Captain Mat Davies, alas a bonus short lived as Mat took
A blow to the head after 20 minutes & had to leave play (the walk to the
side line resembling a Strictly Come Dancing competitor & his speech
was a little bit like Johnathan Woss but lets not go there ?)
Into the fray came our one & only replacement Eddie Faulder (at that
point the driver pulled a hammy just in case he was called upon)
A quick spin of the bottle & David Milbourn & Max Connon combine as
Captain`s with several cry`s of i`m Spartacus which i dealt with very
Diplomaticly, “” off & all that “”
For Carlisle it was a game we came away from feeling desperately
Unlucky having had 70% possesion & territory, which was mush echoed
By the home Coaches & supporters.
The 3-0 score lending no justifcation to Crlisle`s efforts, more saddening as
The the had in the ruck was a red & white one.
The Colts should take great heart form this game as Morpeth had to repel
Our attack over & over again, tackling in two`s & three`s to prevent a score.
Morpeth gained great relief at the final whistle as Carlisle had camped within
Their 5 metre line for the last 15 minutes o play.
To a man Carlisle gave their all, & for marks out of ten then I could go no
Lower then 9`s, but that would be difficult.
To the lad`s just keep doing what your doing & the result`s will come.
