Comfortable win for Carlisle United

Carlisle United are through to the first round proper of the FA Cup.

They saw off visitors Boston United 5-2 to take their place in Monday night’s draw.

The Blues will be number 52 in the draw which sees League One and League Two clubs enter for the first time.

It was a comfortable win for Mark Hughes men with the foundation laid in the first 16 minutes with three goals.

David Ajiboye started the goal-rush on six minutes, cutting in from the right before curling a lovely finish beyond Rhys Lovett.

Josh Grant finished from a corner on 15 minutes and a minute later, Luke Armstrong added the third when he was put through by Josh Williams and fired past Lovett.

It was still 3-0 at half-time but a minute after the re-start Boston substitute Kieran Donnelly heading past home keeper Harry Lewis.

It suddenly became a game when Boston scored a second a minute later. Another header, this time from Lenell John-Lewis, rocked United and lifted the Pilgrims.

Boston applied good pressure and Lewis had to make two timely saves to deny Connor Teale and Frankie Maguire.

It had threatened to go pear-shaped for the Blues but on the hour they scored a fourth to regain control.

It was a well-worked goal, with some good inter-play before debutant Chris Conn-Clarke finished neatly into the bottom corner.

Conn-Clarke completed the scoring with his second goal on 78 minutes when his shot from the edge of the area was helped into the net by the unfortunate Lovett.

It might have finished 6-2 but late on Georgie Kelly fired against the bar.
