Youth Team League Weekend Update

Last updated : 08 November 2010 By Thetashkentterror
It was League Cup action all the way this weekend and it was another good round for, if not Carlisle, their North-West section of the Youth Alliance Football League, with seven of the eight quarter-finalists in the Northern Section coming from that region. Darlington the only North-East representative left in the competition after they won 2-0 at home to Tranmere.

Elsewhere, Blackpool, the leaders in United's division went down 3-1 away to second-placed Burnley, while the Blues lost 6-5 on penalties at Preston after David Symington and Phil Towler with a spot-kick ensured that the tie finished all-square at 2-2 after 90 minutes. Meanwhile, cup holders Queens Park Rangers progressed safely into the southern quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory at Gillingham.

Next week it's back to league action for everyone, with Carlisle facing a relatively short trip down the motorway to take on Accrington Stanley as the Cumbrians still search for their first win of the season. United, with a few injured players now coming back into the ranks, hoping to defeat a Reds side that they drew with 1-1 at home a week last Saturday.
