A second-half strike from leading scorer Tommy Rowe clinched the points for County after Carlisle's Lewis Neal had cancelled out Dominic Blizzard's early opener. The visitors took the lead after just six minutes with a fine individual effort from Blizzard. A rash challenge by Carlisle defender Richard Keogh gave Blizzard the chance to break forward and the Stockport attacker fired home from 25 yards with a dipping shot. The visitors continued to push and Chris O'Grady hit the bar with a 26th-minute header from Rowe's cleverly flighted corner and Oli Johnson missed a great chance to double County's lead just before half-time when he fluffed a one-on-one.
