REPORT: Burnley U18s 2 Cardiff City U18s 1

Tony Philliskirk's side secured their first three points of the season, with a 2-1 win over Cardiff City at the Barnfield Training Centre

Goals in each half from Mitch George and Joe McGlynn were enough for Burnley to ensure their first victory of the season on a scorching afternoon at the Clarets' base.

It was a young Clarets side, as four second-year scholars including Harry Allen, Udoka Chima, Jayden Major and Rhys Fenlon left the club on loan this week, to gain experience in competitive mens football.

This opened the door for a first start for goalkeeper Lewis Thomas and defender Jake Rooney.
