Philliskirk's Pride As Youths Create History
Tony Philliskirk has spoken of his “ultimate pride” after the Burnley Youths registered their first Category One win at the weekend.
The U18s created history with a 3-1 win at Stoke City to register their first win at the highest level, following the Academy being awarded elite status in the summer.
And Head Coach Philliskirk was delighted with the start made by his young charges.
He said: “More than anything, we’ve created history today.
“This was our first game at Category One level away to a big, established Category One team and the overriding emotion is ultimate pride.
