I must apologise, I have never visited or seen Carlisle FEB 4 SANDBACH P Sandbach P WINNINGON PK P in a game, but reading their reports and general activities on a good website, they seem a well 11 organised good community club. After the serious floods in Carlisle, they have rebuilt a very nice 18 Rochdale L PRESTON GH 3 W KNUTSFORD 2 W Macclesfield L 25 WIDNES W Sandbach L clubhouse and seem to have developed a busy social centre. Wilmslow have played them nine times , starting in 1994/95 with the games tally six to three in Carlisle’s favour.
