Youths back to winning ways

The win takes us ten points clear of pointless Accrington Stanley and now leaves us within three points of Rochdale, a side we've already beaten this season, the gap closed with Rochdale losing at home to Wigan.

There were big scores elsewhere with league leaders Oldham hitting Blackpool for six, whilst Accrington moved within one goal of having conceded four as Preston moved up the table after scoring four past them.

In Group B, Stockport were the big winners of the day, their 5-2 victory over Tranmere saw them leap frog the Wirral club into second place on goal difference. They are now just a point behind leaders Walsall whose game at Chester was one of two that fell victim to the weather.

For Burnley now, the FA tie apart, it is time for the Christmas break and we'll next be involved in league action on 6^th January when we entertain Blackpool at Gawthorpe.

The weekend results:

Bury 0 Burnley 3
Chester v Walsall – Postponed
Oldham 6 Blackpool 0
Port Vale 1 Shrewsbury 2
Preston 4 Accrington 1
Rochdale 1 Wigan 3
Stockport 5 Tranmere 2
