History of the Carlisle United v Barnet fixture

Barnet face a trip to Carlisle United at Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a Trophy match.
