Dark clouds loomed for Carlisle’s next task
Students from Lancaster: Questions to ask
Last season they were hard to restrain
Misty blue eyes hoping in the rain

The students started by pressing Carlisle back
Putting their defence stretched on the rack
Short corners conceded hard to contain
Misting blue eyes anxious in the rain

Katie broke free with a blistering dash
Nic opened the scoring with a beefy bash
Carlisle on track now need to sustain
Misty blue eyes relieved in the rain

First Lucy and then Katie make it three
Making the Cumbrian's exultant with glee
Surely victory in sight all too plain
Misty blue eyes effervescent in the rain

But the home team were in for a shock
Lancaster replied twice before the interval clock
Carlisle still ahead but feeling the strain
Misty blue eyes praying in the rain

The Cumbrian's were now on their guard
What had been comfortable was now so hard
But they started to control of the terrain
Misty blue eyes focused in the rain

A well-executed goal from Bex made it four
Effectively for the students closing the door
Their hopes had faded, their energy on the wane
Misty blue eyes triumphant in the rain
