Carlisle players to help local flood victims

Carlisle players and staff will be on hand tomorrow afternoon to help anyone in the Cumbria area who has been affected by Storm Desmond over the weekend.

Following their 5-0 victory in the FA Cup yesterday, the players voiced their concerns to those in charge at the club about the situation in North-West England.

Brunton Park, along with other parts of Cumbria, has been completely flooded and the squad will now do everything they can to help those that are in need.
