Northampton Defy The Gloom With Carlisle Win

Last updated : 20 October 2015 By County Ground

After another day of off-field headlines about the Cobblers, only 3,642 were in attendance but they did see an exciting match and a win for the home side which lifts them up to 5th in League Two.

Gilliead put Carlisle in front just before the half-hour mark but Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal on the stroke of half-time sent the hosts in with their spirits up and further strikes from Hoskins and Calvert-Lewin made the game safe despite a stoppage time consolation from Wyke.

Struggling Stevenage are the visitors on Saturday afternoon, by which time the situation surrounding NTFC will hopefully have become a little bit clearer.
