Burnley FC Women begin the month with the visit of Boldmere St Michaels to the County Ground on Sunday afternoon – 5th March – with a 2pm KO.

Jay Bradford’s side have four home games to come in the Northern Premier Division of the FA Women’s National League throughout March, and ended last month on home soil in spectacular fashion with a 7-0 success over AFC Fylde.

Evie Priestley (2), Dom Cooper, Millie Ravening, Leah Embley, Lara Miller & Amaya Coleman-Evans were all on target against the Coasters in a midweek Lancashire derby.

The Claret Women were then scheduled to face Blackburn Community Sports Club Ladies in the Semi-Finals of the County Cup, but their opponents withdrew from the competition and handed them a bye into the final.

Still unbeaten in the league, Burnley sit 3rd at the time of writing with games in hand on both of the sides above them.

And on Sunday, new signing Georgia Marshall - who joined from Huddersfield Town earlier this week - could make her debut for the Club. The defender, 20, accrued over 50 senior appearances during her time with the Terriers and is no stranger to the FA Women's National League.

At the other end of the table are Sunday’s opponents Boldmere. Promoted last season, the Mikes are currently embroiled in a survival fight, two points off safety at the time of writing but with a game in hand on Liverpool Feds in 10th.

The Midlands outfit have three victories to their name this term in the league, the most recent of which coming against Fylde back in early November.

When the Claret Women made the trip to the Trevor Brown Memorial Ground back in September for the reverse fixture, winning 3-2, only a dramatic winner with the last kick of the game by Leah Embley sealed all three points.

The Mikes had scored to level things up at 2-2 in the 85th minute before having Lauren Da’Casto sent off for two quickfire yellows, and Embley netted in the 93rd minute to seal victory for the Claret Women.

This weekend at the County Ground, entry is free to all. If you can’t make it however, we’ll be streaming the game live on TikTok. Elsewhere, you can keep up to date with our coverage across social media on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram.
