There were no league games for the under-18 teams last weekend with teams in cup action in the second round of games in the U18 Professional Development League Cup with the Clarets losing out in the competition for this season.
The teams are placed in groups of four with just the group winners qualifying for the knock out stage. We?d already lost our opening game against Sheffield United and in game number two were beaten 2-1 at Preston, this after taking the lead in the first half.
With Wigan having also lost their two games, it means Preston and Sheffield United will face each other knowing the winners will go through with a draw seeing Preston qualify on goals scored. Wigan and ourselves will be playing to try and avoid bottom place. Those final group games will be played on 23rd November but before then we have five league games to play, starting this Saturday with a trip to Sheffield United who are currently second in the table with us at the top, but just two points behind with a game in hand.
