9 August 1998    League Division 3

Carlisle United   1   Brighton and Hove Albion   0 

---


Brunton Park
Conditions:  Overcast

Brighton scores placed first.

0-1   Ian Stevens headed eluded Gary Hobson from Damon Searle's precise free kick.
       (Brian Horton warned his team about this very move after Carlisle scored from it in the previous friendly.)

Turgid game with Carlisle hardly able to manage to carve out a chance.
Albion were inept in this department as well.
