AWARD CURSE STRIKES ADAMS

After winning the League Two manager of the month award for October 2015, Plymouth Argyle manager Derek Adams was brought crashing back down to earth when the Pilgrims were knocked out of the FA Cup by Carlisle United.

A first half strike from Peter Sweeney gave the Cumbrians the lead before Hallam Hope, who had been a loan target for Adams before his move from Bury to Brunton Park, added the second to enable Carlisle to avenge their 4-1 defeat in the league last April.

Meanwhile, Exeter City remain as Devon's sole representatives in the FA Cup after they banished memories of defeats against Curzon Ashton and Warrington Town in recent years with a 3-0 win over Didcot Town.

Goals from Clinton Morrison, Tom Nichols and Alex Nicholls ensured the Grecians' passage to and they await tomorrow's draw to find out who they will play in the next round.
