Shrimpers fall to Clarets loss

15 July 2009 12:45
Shrimps boss Sammy McIlroy handed starts to new signing Laurie Wilson and trialists Mark Hudson, Nick Chadwick and Colin Larkin while Steve Woods was also given a run-out in the second half. Yet the Clarets illustrated their superior quality when Martin Paterson fired them ahead in the 15th minute and new recruit Steven Fletcher added a second before the break. Fletcher completed his brace six minutes after the restart to put Owen Coyle's men 3-0 ahead before Larkin pulled a goal back for the Shrimps with a fine finish in the 70th minute.
