4 March 2006

Town fail to match the promotion benchmark recently set when Carlisle thrashed Rushden 5-0 and stutter to a one-all draw at Nene Park with a headed goal from Fen Butcher. The result hauls Sladey's lumpers laboriously into the top three, but does little to reassure Mariners fans that they won't have to endure another season of fourth division hoofball. The home side's goal probably shouldn't have been allowed, but this wouldn't have mattered to visitors of Cumbrian proficiency; and Rob Jones is sent off after the final whistle for calling into question the competence of the referee's assistant. I'm paraphrasing, in case you didn't guess.
