Season 2016/17: The Season So Far - Part 7

GOOD evening and welcome to the final evening of February 2017, an evening of League football. 'Midweek Final Score' is being carried on the BBC Red Button service on television, it is half time in this evening's fixtures - No Carlisle United spoilers, as the results for February and fixtures for March will be the main point of this post. This evening's headline fixture in the Championship is Brighton + Hove Albion against Newcastle United - In the second half, Albion lead the Toon Army by one goal to nil - Former Carlisle United hero Glenn Murray scored a penalty on fourteen minutes.

The time has just passed 2100 (sorry, 9pm - I expect to bring you a radio post in the next week or so), so I shall begin bringing you the Carlisle United results for February:

The League Two table this evening (28th February) shows United third on fifty-eight points, after thirty four games played.
