Wells has scored in Carlisle United’s Reserves Cumberland Cup 4 – 1 Semi-Final Win.
In the aftermath of the news that loan ace Liam Cooper dramatically quit Carlisle United after claiming he was “bombed” from the squad for Wembley, the United boss Greg Abbott as expected played fringe players in tonight’s Cumberland Cup semi-final with Gillford Park.
The match played at Brunton Park saw likes of Paddy Madden, Rory Loy, Wells and Ben McKenna looking to use the game to force their way into a first team spot on Saturday.
After 33 minutes, Carlisle held a 2 – 0 lead with goals from Wells and Loy.
After Gillford Park pulled a goal back McKenna made 3 – 1 and then Madden closed out the scoring to make the final score 4 – 1 as Carlisle advanced to the Final.
