### Lead
"The match was the 23rd final of the domestic cup competition for teams from Football Leagues One and Two, the Football League Trophy." - how about The match was the 23rd final of the Football League Trophy, a domestic cup competition for teams from Football Leagues One and Two.
"The final was contested between League One side Swansea City and League Two side Carlisle United." - repetition of the word "side"
"was their top goalscorer in the competition," - how about tournament for variety?
Wikilink crossing to Cross (association football)
Wikilink the term volley to Volley (association football) and header to Header (association football)


### Carlisle United
"League Two side Carlisle United " - club for variety
Wikilink the term corner kick


### Swansea City
The wikilink in the word "A" in the second column in the table should be corrected to Layer Road
"In the second round, Swansea recorded a comfortable 4–0 victory over Rushden & Diamonds." - the word "comfortable" isn't particularly encyclopedic
"The only goal of the game was scored shortly before half time by Akinfenwa, his fourth goal of the competition," - repetition of the term "goal"


### Background
"Carlisle entered the final having won seven of their previous eight fixtures and having not suffered a defeat for nine league games." - and were not beaten in their last nine league games.
"and won the 1997 final." - and victory in the 1997 final.


### Pre-match
"Carlisle were dealt a blow" - please reword the text in bold to a more formal, encyclopedic phrase
Wikilink cup-tied
The percent symbol should be replaced by per cent per MOS:PERCENT
Wikilink play-off finals to English Football League play-offs


### Aftermath
"Regarding his goal, Trundle has described the effort as the best goal he scored during his career," - repetition of the word "goal"


### Summary
Wikilink offside to Offside (association football)
"Swansea retook the lead with nine minutes remaining, Trundle playing through Akinfenwa," - the first comma is not appropriate in this instance


### References
Reference 3 sends me to the Football Club History Database source and not the one from the RSSSF
The hyphens in reference 13 should be replaced by en dashes (–)
Ref 35: "Carlisle United 1 Swansea City 2"" A comma is missing between "1" and "Swansea"
