Division Three: Carlisle keep hopes alive

Bottom club Carlisle’s mission impossible to avoid the drop to the Nationwide Conference was boosted as they registered back-to-back wins with a 2-0 success over Oxford, who began the day in third place.

Goals from Tom Cowan (52) and Craig Farrell (76) made it 12 points from the last seven matches as they closed the gap on Macclesfield to two points.
