I think both teams at the Arbories agreed to finish the game early due to one of the Burscough players having a serious leg injury.
Hope he has a good recovery.

Lowerhouse are a club in transition. There will be changes both on and off the pitch which is inevitable in a very competitive league. I'll take a mid table position with a Worsley Cup win again. Our sub pro in the cup final last season had a 'dream' innings which turned the tie in our favour. Over ...

My mate and I stood toe to toe with some lads in between the coaches down on the bottom road.
After kicking the crap out of each other we realised all of us were Burnley.

Conroy's goal was scored at their end.
Sort of.
1,000 Burnley were next to their corner and went a bit mental.

Almost getting killed at Cardiff might top the list.
