Dearham United take on Carlisle City, who've won the County Cup two years running, at Netherhall this afternoon, 2pm.

Dearham United fans, and anyone round Maryport after a game this afternoon, this one's for you.

Dearham play Carlisle City in the second round of the Cumberland Senior County Cup at Netherhall School, Maryport, today, Saturday 7 November, 2pm kick-off. Cumbria Crack reckons it's the tie of the round and probably the biggest game in the club's history.

On paper it's a mountain. Dearham came up last season and it's been tough going in the Cumberland County League Premier Division. Carlisle City are a Northern League side and have won this cup the last two years running, so they're the holders and the favourites.

But there might be a sniff. City boss Dan Kirkup is expected to rotate because they've got a Northern League Division One game at home to Crook Town on Tuesday night. City beat Whickham 2-0 at home on Tuesday 3 November, so they're in decent nick.

Dearham chairman and player Jack Brown has had a chat with the Crack's John Walsh about the big day, and it's on their site. Win, and Dearham are in the quarter-finals, where Workington AFC and Penrith are already waiting.

What you can do: get yourself down to Netherhall this afternoon and make some noise. The fixture's on the Northern League's Carlisle City page, and we'll put the score up once it's been reported with the scorers.

Dearham United face two-time holders Carlisle City in the second round of the Cumberland Senior County Cup at Netherhall School, Maryport, this afternoon, kick-off 2pm.

This is for Dearham United fans and anyone around Maryport looking for a game this afternoon, Saturday 7 November.

Dearham United play Carlisle City in the second round of the Cumberland Senior County Cup at Netherhall School, Maryport, with kick-off at 2pm. Cumbria Crack has called it the most intriguing tie of the round and probably the biggest game in Dearham's history.

The gap between the sides is clear on paper. Dearham were promoted last season and are finding life hard in the Cumberland County League Premier Division. Carlisle City play in the Northern League and have won this cup in each of the last two seasons, so they arrive as holders and favourites.

There may be a chance for the villagers, though. City manager Dan Kirkup is expected to rotate his side because City have a Northern League Division One game at home to Crook Town on Tuesday night. City came into the week off the back of a 2-0 home league win over Whickham on Tuesday 3 November.

Dearham chairman and player Jack Brown has spoken to Cumbria Crack's John Walsh about the tie, and the interview is on the Crack's site. A place in the quarter-finals is the prize, with Workington AFC and Penrith already through to that stage.

What you can do: go and support them at Netherhall School this afternoon. Fixture details are on the Northern League's Carlisle City page, and we'll carry the result once it has been reported with the scorers.
