Burnley were again without a fixture and could only sit and await the results knowing that any one of two teams could knock us off the top of the league. In the end it was both as Preston went back to the top with their win against bottom club Morecambe and Carlisle climbed back into second place as they beat Stockport.
In the only other result of the day, Shrewsbury also won by the same score against Macclesfield to lift them up a few places in the bottom half of the table.
Amazingly, Walsall didn't play again and neither they nor us are in league action this weekend as the top two get a chance to put some daylight between them and us.
Walsall have another blank week but it is cup action for the Clarets for the next week.
We host Rotherham United at Gawthorpe this coming Saturday in the second round of the Youth Alliance Cup before travelling to Boston a week tomorrow for an FA Youth Cup third round tie.
Below are the weekend results, this week's fixtures, Burnley's goalscorers and the current league table.
