Georgie Kelly on the mark again as Carlisle boost League 2 survival hopes

Georgie Kelly scored for Carlisle United again on Saturday

Georgie Kelly scored again as Carlisle United moved off the bottom of League 2.

Kelly opened the scoring for the Mark Hughes-managed Carlisle in a 2-0 away win at Morecambe.

The Tooban man netted in the 27th minute, heading past Harry Burgoyne after connecting to a Jack Ellis cross.

Kelly might have doubled his tally just moments later, but was denied by a fine block. 

Terell Thomas added a second in the second half and Kelly had the ball in the net again, but a handball infringement in the build-up by Joe Bevan saw it chalked off.

Last weekend, Kelly bagged a brace in a 3-2 win over Newport County.
