Padiham tonight for youth team

Last updated : 01 August 2002 By Tony Scholes

The game, which will kick-off at Padiham’s Arbories ground at 7 o’clock, is our first visit there for two years. Last year we were scheduled to play there but after a change of fixtures we ended up playing them just a year ago today at Gawthorpe when the young Clarets undeservedly lost 1-0.

It is the second pre-season game for the youths with another three to follow before the Youth Alliance League gets under way on 17th August.


The squad is expected to be similar to the one that played at
Accrington in the reserve friendly on Monday, obviously with the exception of Gordon Armstrong and Ian Cox, although it is likely that such as Earl Davis and Andy Leeson will probably be used as subs to give the younger players some action.


Give the lads some support if you can get there tonight.
