Ewes visit Lancashire with three points on the line

Burnley Women turn their attention back to league action this weekend, with Derby County the visitors to the County Ground in Leyland.

The Clarets are aiming to claim a fourth straight win in all competitions and could stretch their unbeaten run to five, should they avoid defeat.

By the time the game comes around it will have been a week since the team’s last outing, which was a 1-0 victory over Sutton Coldfield Town in the FA Women’s National League Cup first round.

Rebecca Sawiuk’s team were last in league action four days prior, when a 97th minute strike from Brenna McPartlan contributed to a fifth Northern Premier Division victory of the season.

It was 2-1 to Burnley that night, with Georgia Marshall netting her first goal of the campaign in the first half.

Derby County’s recent results have been less favourable, losing their last four in all competitions.

Former player Sam Griffiths has been Head Coach of the team since the 2018/19 season, recording a club high finish of 2nd in 2021/22.

The Midlanders were beaten 3-0 by Hashtag United in the FA Women’s National League Cup last weekend, which came quickly on the coat tails of a 4-2 league reverse to Stoke City.

The Ewes might take heart from the fact that they came out on top the last time these two teams met, which was on the final day of the 2023/24 season.

Turf Moor was the venue in which Derby secured a 2-0 victory, with Dolcie O’Connor and Amy Sims both on target.

Both teams have played seven league matches this season, and our points tally of 16 leaves us 3rd in the table.

Derby are 8th with seven points, knowing that a win here and favourable results elsewhere could see them climb to 6th.

This is the first time that the team have played at Lancashire FA’s headquarters this season, and Sawiuk and her players would welcome your support in person.

Burnley season ticket holders can claim free entry by presenting their season card at the gate, with other adults priced at £5 and concessions being £2.
