Clarets finish season at Turf Moor

Burnley Women are preparing to finish their Northern Premier Division of the Women’s National League campaign on Sunday afternoon, with Derby County visiting Turf Moor for a 2pm kick-off.

It’s been a campaign of progression for the Clarets, who have won 15 and drawn three of their 21 league games to date and have been crowned Lancashire FA Women’s Senior Cup champions.

Head Coach Rebecca Sawiuk and her players are keen to finish 2023/24 on a high on what should be a memorable occasion this Bank Holiday weekend.

Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know.

Where to watch?

Tickets are still available to purchase in the Bob Lord Stand at the reduced price of £10 for adults and £5 for juniors.

Form guide

Burnley have won their last two matches, including a 9-1 victory over West Didsbury & Chorlton last week.

Prior to that it was another game at Turf Moor, with the Clarets beating Liverpool Feds. Rebecca Sawiuk’s team have lost just once in their last 10 games in all competitions.

Derby County have had a mixed run of results of late, but they come into this one on the back of a 4-3 victory over Liverpool Feds.

The Ewes won the FA Women's National League plate for the first time in their history towards the end of April, beating Cambridge United 3-0 in an entertaining final.

What Rebecca Sawiuk said

“Everyone’s excited for the final game and we’re looking forward to putting in a good performance against Derby.

“We’ve been able to rest and recover since our last game and the players had last weekend off, which was really nice for them to be able to spend time with family and friends.

“It was a fiercely competitive game the last time we played Derby – they’re a really well organised and well coached team with some good players like Amy Sims.

“We’ll be ready, though – we’ve got a really good squad here and we’re in a really good place in terms of our preparation this week. I’m looking forward to getting out there on Sunday. “
