Duckworth Lewis hands derby day win to Carlisle.

 

An unbeaten 68 from captain, Marc Brown steered Carlisle over the line in a rain affected game at Wigton.

Entering the fray with just seven on the board, Brown had to subdue his attacking instincts as Dan Gomersall joined Ben Davidson back in the pavilion.

When Justin Greaves fell to leave Carlisle 27-3, the hosts scented victory having earlier piled up the runs thanks to fine fifties from Kieran Little and Mikey Hill.

But, together with James Dawson and later Jordan Whinn, Brown began to rebuild the innings as the chase slowly gathered momentum in pursuit of 213.

With the rain clouds gathering, though, Carlisle needed to be ahead of the revised rate with more than 10 overs of the game to go.

Another aggressive cameo from Alex Raybould added the required impetus and Carlisle were comfortably ahead on Duckworth Lewis as the heavens opened and victory was secured by 16-runs.
