History of the Carlisle United v Exeter City fixture

Carlisle Utd. are ready to welcome Exeter City to Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cumbrians are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 5 of the 21 games.

The previous match played between the two at Brunton Park Stadium was within the last three years, in August 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Division Three match.
