PivotalTamworth completed a spirited comeback to defeat Carlisle United 2-1 at home, with Oliver Lynch emerging as the match-winner with a crucial second-half brace. The visitors took the lead seven minutes after the restart through Stephen Wearne, capitalizing on what appeared to be a well-worked move. However, Lynch's equalizer on 64 minutes sparked the home side into life, and his second goal just 12 minutes later proved decisive as Tamworth showed excellent mental resilience to turn the match around. The victory strengthens Tamworth's position in the National League table and maintains their solid home form, while Carlisle will rue their inability to hold onto their advantage despite making multiple tactical substitutions in the closing stages.
