Carlisle in Worthy Cup

News from 24th July 2000

Town have been drawn against 3rd division Carlisle in a repeat of last season's corresponding fixture in the same competition. Last year Town won the second leg 6-0 at Blundell Park, with Jack Lester scoring a hattrick, following a goalless draw in Cumbria two weeks prior to that.
