WELL done to the youth team on winning the Lancashire FA Youth Cup on Wednesday night.

It shows what quality we have in the club for the boys to pull off such a marvellous achievement.

A club like Burnley, so close to so many Premiership clubs, will always struggle to bring in the best young talent.

Usually, any kid that shows real promise is snapped up by a Premiership club but it's clear we have some good boys in our set-up.

You only have to look at the progress Kyle Lafferty and Chris McCann have made over the past season as proof of that.

There'll be a few boys in the set-up that are worth perservering with and I think the long-term future of the club is in good hands.

With money so tight, developing your own talent is vital so let's hope a couple from this latest batch can follow in Kyle and Chris' footsteps.

Well done again, lads!
