Carlisle United Futsal Team had their first get together when they went to watch the England Futsal team play USA at Northumbria University last week.Former United goalkeeper Tony Elliot, now a coach with the England Futsal team, popped across to speak to the lads to give them some words of encouragement and advice.
John Halpin said: "The Americans won the match 2–1 but it was a worthwhile exercise for us to take the lads over there.
"It showed them a completely different style of football and it gave them an insight into what they can expect when they start with us in September.
