FOOTBALL: Appleby first-team's home match with Kendal Town Reserves in the Westmorland League's first division was waterlogged off, but the second team went to Northbank Carlisle Rangers in the quarter-finals of the Westmorland County FA Junior Cup and gave a good account of themselves before losing 2-1 in extra-time.

Appleby midfielder Carl Pratt gave his side a 1-0 lead before half time as they played with a following wind and had several chances to go further ahead without luck.

In the second half, Appleby then held the progressive Northbank side, who are third from top of Division 3, until eight minutes from time when the equaliser came to take the game into extra time.

A contentious penalty eventually sealed Appleby's fate, but it was a good effort, especially from the younger element in the team with centre-back Thomas Armstrong, right bank David Drummond and midfielder Richard Faustino all impressing.
