Storks win again
A last-minute change of venue saw the Storks play at Fleetwood Town’s newly opened £8m Poolfoot Farm training ground at Thornton, instead of Blackpool’s own School Lane Ground which was unavailable, a change that saw the game take place on an excellent grass playing surface and produce a 3-0 victory for Steve Wilkes’ side.
A third-minute strike by Mark Young was enough to give Padiham a 1-0 half-time lead.
