Carlton made it three defeats on the bounce as both sides turned in a performance that would have fitted the definition of an end of season game. With the only chance of the game resulting in a goal, when Joel Grandison placed the ball passed the returning Curtis McDonald

With it being a beautiful spring day, it seemed the rest of the players had their mind on the summer to come, with thoughts on how to enjoy this sort of weather to come.

The first action of the game, came about when Romulus broke down the left wing, beating Ben Elliott, before delivering a cross along the floor, meeting Grandison, who placed his ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, across McDonald’s body and giving the keeper no chance.

Les McJannet tried his best to inspire something in the game, making three changes, and giving three under 21 players a chance to prove themselves in Marcus Fletcher, Felix Hogg and a returning Kameron Campbell. Even though they also replaced three other youngsters, it failed to really alter the game.

Although, Marcus Fletcher did come the closest to testing Stuart Parsons but his header from a Paolo Piliero corner went well over the bar.

With only two games to go, the players will need to step it up a gear, if they are to prove they are worth keeping next season, as based on this performance it would be tough to decide.

Carlton Town: McDonald, Elliott (C), Bennett, Newton (Hogg 67), Murphy (Campbell 76), Wedderburn (M. Fletcher 63), Rae, Piliero, D. Fletcher, Hooton, Walker.

Romulus: Parsons, Evans, Branch, Frances, Lee, Smith (C), Curley, Fitzharris, Bottume, Keen, Grandison.

Subs: Davies, Ahenkorah, Francis.
