Several changes from the team last week, notably with fly half Glen Weightman returning to the ten shirt after holi- day, and new signings Jared Stewart and Ali Randall making their 1st team debuts. Traffic disruptions meant Carlisle arrived later than planned, with a shorter warm up than normal. This how- ever wasn’t to blame for the 1st half assault that took place on the Carlisle try line. After only 2 minutes, Vale winger James Curran crossed the line for 1 of his 3 tries. Vale’s game plan was obvious from the outset, as they spread the ball across the field with the hope of stretching the Carlisle defence. A penalty for fly half Turton extended Vale’s lead, closely followed by another try for Curran, who profited from a chip ahead from Vale’s ex England 7’s international Nick Royle, as he won the foot race to touch down. Another chip ahead, this time Curran returning the favour to Royle, set Vale up for their third try extending Vale’s lead to 24-0. A shell shocked Carlisle were further weakened when fly half Weightman was forced off the field, still suffering from an encounter with some dodgy overseas water. This seemed to stir Carlisle into life, as they produced their best passage of play in the game, as the unusually quiet forward pack drove towards the line. Tight head prop Tom Graham was on hand to drive over in the corner, to register Carlisle’s 1st try of the game. Sloppy handling was a feature of Carlisle’s play all afternoon, which gifted Vale a series of tries, and their next try was no exception. Poor handling in midfield allowed Vale to capitalise, which allowed star signing Royle to feed Phil Berry who raced over for another try. Coach Gary Hewer asked his players for more in the second half, to cut out the handling errors and to pro- duce a performance more recognisable of a Carlisle team. Carlisle delivered a much improved 2nd half show- ing, drawing the second half 19-19. Inside centre Barry Earl scored a try seven minutes after half time, which he converted. Substitute Josh Holmes was the next Carlisle player to cross the white wash, as he powered over from close HEADLINES HALLIDAY’S range. This left Carlisle with 3 tries and the possibility of a bonus point. Carlisle began to keep the ball for more phases of possession, helped by the returning Weightman had shaken off his illness to return to the field. Carlisle were camped in the Vale 22 for long periods of the second half, constantly turning down the chance of three points in search of the bonus point fourth try. Several cynical fouls which stopped almost certain tries were unpunished by the ref, when observers, even from the Vale camp, were heard to say a yel- low card was more than justified. Winger Karim Moualem, on the back of last week’s two try master class, crossed for a try with the last play of the game to earn Carlisle a bonus point, and something to build on for next week’s local derby with Kendal. Whilst outplayed for large periods of the game, the Carlisle players were left to ponder what might have hap- pened had their 2nd half showing been extended throughout the full game. An improved performance is re- quired next week in front of their home crowd. 9 FORMER CARLISLE PLAYER, NOW WITH NEWCASTLE FALCONS, BARES ALL TO HALLIDAY! At what age did you first become interested in Rugby Union? Eight year old, as a junior at Carlisle. Best player played with at Carlisle? Best Player trained or played with ever? Tane Tuipoluto, a monster of a man to tackle in training. He plays same position and liked to learn from him and watch how he plays to pick up point. Biggest influence? Biggest influence Rougerie as i like how he plays and I try to replicate what he does. Best moment at Carlisle? Beating Penrith at any opportunity and making my 1st team debut as 17 year old What has been the best advice that you have received? if you're not going all the way, then why go at all. Also as a motivation thing - proving peo- ple wrong, all those who didn’t think I’d make it any further than Carlisle. How did it feel to sing the national anthem/represent your country? The singing wasn’t great, didn’t hit all the notes, but was a massive honour to shout it out with pride. Playing the two games, one I came off the bench v Belgium A team and the sec- ond v Belgium 1st XV. It was a great experience playing out there; we were given the li- cence to play and express ourselves and ultimately to enjoy it, which we did. THE HALLIDAY INTERVIEW THE HALLIDAY Now for some questions about the lads: Most skilful: Paul Halliday - heard he’s been throwing ridiculous off loads everywhere. Quickest: Tom Graham, ridiculous over 2m, and unbelievable tekkers! Slowest: Tom Graham, after 2m he can’t maintain much pace! Least like to be stuck on a Dessert Island with: Mark Barron – he would eat me. Funniest: James Clark- Never shuts up. Best Trainer: Marty Brody - he was always so dedicated and serious about every aspect of the sessions Worst Trainer: Lee Brumpton - scared I’d put him on his arse. Who do you miss the most?: I couldn’t pin it on one person. Carlisle is such a great club to start, continue and progress your rugby. and hopefully finish your rugby. Carlisle have been absolutely fantastic over my time there, and I appreciate that. so I would have to say I miss the whole club. 10 CARLISLE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB There’s more than rugby available at Warwick Road!
