Philliskirk: We Handled The Occasion Really Well

Youth team manager Tony Philliskirk confessed his delight, after his side cruised to a 5-0 victory over Curzon Ashton in the third round of the FA Youth Cup.

Goals from Lewis Richardson, Rhys Fenlon, Chris-Conn Clarke, Ben Woods and Mitch George, was enough for the Clarets to book themselves a fourth-round spot with Mansfield Town.

And Philliskirk had nothing but praise for his side and believed it was a ‘great team performance all round”, as Burnley put an end to the Nash’s impressive cup run at the Tameside Stadium, with a classy performance.

The U18 boss said: “All round I thought it was great, I thought the first-half was nip and tuck, we said to the players in the days before that the first goal was going to be vital.
