Madine spinning on a pass into him in the Rochdale box before dummying his marker and smashing a powerful drive low into the bottom corner of the 'Dale net. Despite only claiming one win in the Puma Youth Alliance League all season the home side worked hard throughout as they resorted to more physical tactics after the break in an effort to break up United's passing game.
Carlisle were a little wasteful at times as well in front of goal as they looked to make the game safe with Andrew Cook enduring a disappointing time by his own standards. Still the young Blues, down to four substitutes on the bench after John Seaton had gone down with illness in the morning, hung on for the three points that keeps them right in the thick of the title race.
United line-up :
Grant Carson, Matthew Brown, Matt Duffy, Dan Wordsworth, Tom Aldred, Ged Dalton, Jonny Blake (Matthew Wood 70), Stephen Hindmarch, Andrew Cook, Gary Madine, Connor Tinnion (Simon Lakeland 75).
Unused substitutes :
Alex Mitchell (GK) and Michael Dowson.
