CARLISLE-born Blues midfielder Owen Moxon took teammate Morgan Feeney to visit Trinity School.

On Thursday, December 1, the Carlisle United duo visited the city centre school - with local lad Moxon receiving a hero's welcome from current pupils.

The event was hosted by Trinity School's PE department and allowed year 7, 8 and 9 students to ask the footballers a series of questions.

Owen spoke about a number of things, including how hard it was to be released from Carlisle as a youngster, and the patience he had to show as he forged his way to a contract offer from Paul Simpson in the summer.

Owen also hinted at the possibility of a new celebration should he score after his visit to his former school.

He said: "I was invited to go back to my old school, and I thought I'd take Morgan along so he could see it, but as soon as we walked through the door everybody started singing: FEENEY, FEENEY, FEENEY... What's that all about?!

"Seriously though, it was really enjoyable and good for us to be able to meet the students.

"A lot of them were Carlisle fans so they were buzzing as much as we were."

Morgan Feeney added: "It's great to hear how excited everyone is about what we're doing as a team at the moment and hopefully we can keep that going so we carry on seeing all the smiles and happy faces that we're getting when we go out and about."
