Blues manager Paul Simpson and Carlisle United first-team players, Jordan Gibson and Jon Mellish, scored big with the students at a recent Q&A visit.
The trio fielded questions from pupils in years 3, 4, 5, and 6 at Ivegill CE Primary School.
The spotlight fell on the team's trip to Wembley last season, with the players gladly getting in about the details.
“It was a great afternoon,” Paul said.
"The children had their questions prepared and it made it really enjoyable to sit down and talk to them, because it was all organised so smoothly.
“They were all really interested in how we’d prepared for the trip to Wembley as well as how I’d picked the penalty takers.
"They did try and make me pick who my favourite player was but I told them it was like picking a favourite child and I didn’t want to upset anyone.
“I’d like to thank them all for inviting us along," he said.
Winger Jordan Gibson, who recently won PFA League One Fans’ Player of the Month award for October, said: "All of the lads will tell you that these visits are good to do.
“This one was really well organised and the questions were good, you could tell they’d really thought about them.
“We tried to have a kick about outside afterwards but the weather was against us and I think the gaffer was worried that Mellish would start tackling all of the kids," he said.
Special thanks were extended to the students and staff at Ivegill, as well as the team at Bimson Haulage, for extending the warm invitation.
