Clarets travel to west Yorkshire for a midweek clash

Thursday evening will see Burnley Women take on Halifax in the Northern Premier Division of the Women's National League.

The fixture has moved to Golcar United's Skye Direct Stadium (HD7 4AZ) and will kick off at 7:45pm.

Burnley are aiming to build on a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns last time out, having beaten Derby County the week prior.

Phoebe Warner opened the scoring before Aimee Kelly levelled with a cute flick after the break to earn the side a point.

Burnley maintain 3rd place in the table, four points behind 2nd-placed Nottingham Forest with a game in hand.

Halifax will go into this fixture in buoyant mood having overturned a two-goal deficit at halftime to draw 3-3 with Derby County last time out.

Youngster Madeline Oliver kick started the comeback and striker Katie Ramsden levelled, before the Ewes restored their lead. However, Halifax's Ellie White ensured they wouldn't finish empty handed from the penalty spot with 13 minutes to play.

Rob Mitchell's team sit 9th in the 12-team table with 16 points from their 12 matches played. As such, they have several games in hand on many of the teams around them.

The last encounter between these two teams took place back in October, with Burnley winning 2-0 at the Lancashire FA County Ground, Leyland.

Kelly was on target once again, scoring either side of the break to earn the Clarets a valuable three points.

Rebecca Sawiuk and her players would welcome any support on the evening, with tickets available to purchase on the night. They're priced at £6 for adults and £4 for concessions.
