They then defeated Macclesfield 4-2 away, Chesterfield 3-1 away and Bradford 3-0 at home to reach this stage.

Leeds
Leeds have been drawn at home in their previous three rounds in the competition also all against League Two opposition.

They received a bye in the first round, then defeated, Darlington 2-1, Grimsby 3-1 and Accrington Stanley 2-0 to reach the Northern final.

History

Leeds have the better record at Carlisle and have won on their last two visits, both by the same score line 2-0.

Overall Leeds have won five to Carlisle`s two in their nine encounters at Brunton Park.

Fans Remember - Kevin Speight and Chris Loftus

The family and friends of Chris and Kevin feel that they wish to commemorate this significant milestone and have decided to raise money for Candlelighters childrens cancer charity in their memory.

The original idea was to hold a celebrity event at Elland Rd in April 2010 with a all proceeds going to Candlelighters, however with the input of enthusiastic family + friends this has now snowballed to the level where we are trying to hold one fund raising event a month between September 2009 and April 2010.
