Joe Jackson and Tommy Taylor both scored twice as the Clarets launched their Youth Alliance programme in stunning style at Gawthorpe.
Seven weeks after reporting back for pre-season training, Terry Pashley's young charges were let off the leash and responded with a magnificent seven.
Jackson opened the scoring after just nine minutes when he tucked the ball home on the rebound after a Taylor shot had been saved.
Joe McKee then side-footed home a Jackson cross and Taylor opened his account when he fired in at the far post from a Ross Wilson cross.
Wilson made it 4-0 before the break with another neat finish as Stanley were overwhelmed.

Taylor scrambled home number five and two goals in the last five minutes completed the rout as Jackson grabbed his second and full-back Ed Williams got forward to head in a McKee free-kick from close range.
