Clarets welcome Posh to Burnley Training Centre

Burnley FC’s U18s side are back in action on Saturday afternoon, as they host Peterborough United at the Burnley Training Centre in the Professional Development League North (1pm KO).

The Clarets fell to defeat last time out, with a 3-0 loss to Birmingham City at Wast Hills Training Ground, Birmingham.

The Blues opened the scoring in the opening ten minutes as Bria Bateman fired the ball into the back of the net past Jon Ander Vilar Robinson.

Moments before the break Blues captain Taylor Dodd bagged himself a goal, as he sent Vilar Robinson the wrong direction.

Birmingham found their third when Jack Rogers attempted to head away a shot from Ben Wodskou but deflected the ball past the keeper.
