Gilchrist nets three in Fleetwood win

Last updated : 06 August 2014 By Tony Scholes

His first came six minutes before the break with a powerful shot and almost immediately after he converted a superb Danny Lafferty cross. His third goal came just eight minutes into the second half and completed the scoring.

Gilchrist being in the goals wasn't the only good news for the Clarets. Some of those who didn't feature last night got a game as did Michael Kightly who hasn't had any action since the 2-2 draw at Reading which ended last season.

Kights has had a minor operation to remove a growth from his knee but he played just over an hour today as he begins to step up his fitness.

The starting eleven was: Conor Mitchell, Steven Reid, Kevin Long, Tom Anderson, Danny Lafferty, Luke O'Neill, Nathan Lowe, Steven Hewitt, Michael Kightly, Trialist, Jason Gilchrist.
