Gillingham's FA Cup second round replay away to Carlisle United is re-arranged for Tuesday, December 19

11:30, 13 December 2017

Gillingham's FA Cup replay at Carlisle has been re-arranged for Tuesday, December 19.

The game was due to be played on Tuesday, December 12 but was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Despite the groundstaff at Carlisle covering their pitch, temperatures dipped so low in Cumbria on Sunday and Monday night, that the referee was left with little option but to postpone the game.

The two teams drew the first game 1-1 at Priestfield earlier this month.

The winners will have a home tie against Sheffield Wednesday in the third round on January 6.
