An Ian Cox own goal and a Simon Hackneys thunderbolt gave Carlisle a comfortable win. It was managerless Gillingham's sixth away defeat in a row and Carlisle did not have to be at their best.
Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's inswinging corner in the 14th minute ricocheted off central defender Cox across the line for the opener.
And Hackney struck a dipping left-foot shot which flew into the net on 54 minutes to seal the ppints.
