It was the day the Blues took on the might of two countries - and won!
Not only did Carlisle United prevail against Welsh opponents in Newport County on Saturday.
They also got the better of the visiting side's new-found group of Scottish fans...
Some Partick Thistle supporters made the cross-border trip to Brunton Park after their Scottish Championship game at Dundee was postponed.

The Jags fans joined the travelling Newport faithful in the Pioneer Stand.
They proved a vocal addition to the away section throughout the game, singing 'Flower of Scotland' among other ditties.
Thank you to the 1️⃣6️⃣8️⃣ Exiles (and Partick fans) that followed us all the way to Carlisle yesterday 👏

We hope you all had a safe trip home 🧡 pic.twitter.com/QlldcINngN
The Scottish supporters increased the away contingent to 168.
But it was the Cumbrians who were singing the loudest by the end as Paul Simpson's side won 2-0.
