Pre-season is well underway at Brunton Park and the Brunton Bugle is back to discuss the first two games for Paul Simpson's men this summer.

In this episode, Dan and Lee look back on the comfortable wins over Penrith and Kendal, with some chat about trialists, Jamie Devitt's hat-trick at Parkside Road and what areas United still need to strengthen him.

In the news section, there's some chat about the latest transfers in and out of Brunton Park and a tribute to former Blues boss Clive Middlemass, who sadly passed away this week.

On top of this, there is of course the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently, with even more former United players on the move over the last couple of weeks.

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Dan MacLennan in Carlisle. You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.
