18 March 2006

Gary Jones' tremendous run of form continues - luckily for Town, whose knife-edge win over Bury takes them up into second place, four points clear of the play-off zone of certain doom. Two very well worked goals from Lumpaldinho, bringing his tally to 12 for the season, give the Mariners a comfortable half-time lead, only for the midfield to go missing and the entire side to defend too deeply for the entire second period. An excellent edge-of-the-box strike from Jon 'Rubbish For Town, Good Against Town' Daly brings the visitors back into it on the hour, and precisely how Town held out for the remaining 30 minutes is already the subject of lengthy dissertations by leading north American phenomenologists. Carlisle win 5-0 again (that's four times in two months) to strengthen their position at the top, but everyone else up there loses and GTFC fans can sleep much more soundly than they would have thought possible at half past four this afternoon. Cuh!
