Nick Anderton's first goal in a Carlisle shirt, along with an unfortunate Liam Roberts own goal, proved to be enough to secure a welcome win for the struggling Cumbrians, this despite Mat Sadler crashing the ball home early in the second half.
Clarke admitted to being frustrated with both his team and the match referee - James Oldham - as the match was very stop/ start with the Reds unable to make more of their time on the ball whilst the referee gave a large number of free-kicks.
