LEAguE 2 RouNd-up

-

JAMIE PROCTOR enjoyed an unforgetta­ble debut for Carlisle, scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory at Leyton Orient, before being sent for an early bath

The Cumbrians brought in the 24-year-old on loan from Bolton after selling Charlie Wyke to Bradford on transfer deadline day and he lashed home the winner midway through the second half, but five minutes later saw red for two bookings in three minutes for reckless tackles.

Earlier, Gary Liddle had restored parity for Keith Curle’s men after Gavin Massey had given the Londoners a 27th-minute lead.

Morecambe became the first team in 2017 to deny Doncaster a win as Peter Murphy’s opener helped them earn a point in a 1-1 draw.

John Marquis hit back for Rovers 11 minutes into the second half, but the visitors held firm after that.

Jamile Matt’s early goal for Blackpool was cancelled out by Kurtis Guthrie as the Tangerines’ winless run stretched to five outings as they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Colchester.

The visitors finished the game with 10 men, after substitute Sean Murray was shown a straight red for a bad tackle on Jim McAlister in injury time

Hartlepool were denied victory by one of their own as Yeovil managed a 1-1 draw at Victoria Park.

Glovers midfielder Matty Dolan was born in Hartlepool, and has spent two loan spells at the club, and his 69th-minute penalty, following a foul by debutant Andrew Nelson on Francois Zoko, denied Pools a welcome win.

Five minutes earlier, Nelson’s deep cross picked out Amond and he looped home a header from 16 yards for his 11th goal of the season.
