Away to Clitheroe
Known for percussion
Hence the discussion
Alice’s last concussion

Carlisle soon engaged
First dice to throw
Then began to flow
And put on a show

But danger ahead
Anna sees green
What would it mean?
To Carlisle’s machine

Cumbrians undaunted
Began to dig deep
Composure did keep
Nic a goal did sweep

Now with the advantage
Carlisle hold steady
Defence alert and ready
Doing nothing heady

Cumbrians pegged back
As the interval did beckon
Home team score in dying second
Teams level: Time for reflection

Carlisle reassert
Forward on front foot
A goal would be good
Put Clitheroe on hook

Cumbrians rewarded
A short corner gained
Holly’s shot is caned
Backboard is stained

Carlisle begin to purr
Rachael is striving
Bex is thriving
Confidence is rising

Hattie finishes sweetly
As she scores another
Home team now in bother
As they begin to suffer

But further pain awaits
Katie streaks goal bound away
Legs removed body splayed
Holly’s stroke seals the day
