Clarets draw Norwich

Last updated : 18 November 2004 By Tony Scholes

Both clubs have come into the competition at the 3rd round stage and we have been drawn at home against Premiership club Norwich City with the match having to be played by Saturday 18th December.

Last season we went out at this stage of the competition, in fact a year ago yesterday, in a 4-1 defeat against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane when Danny Pitham scored for the us from the penalty spot.

There’s still no news of our involvement in the Lancashire Youth Cup, a home time against Blackpool is set to be scheduled. Last season we were unfortunate not to win that competition and lost to Oldham in a close final.

We’ll bring you news of the Turf Moor dates just as soon as they are available.
