WITTON will start their FA Cup campaign at Burscough this weekend after the Lancashire club came through a replay following extra time last night, Tuesday.

The Linnets saw off North West Counties League outfit Padiham at the second attempt, edging through 2-1 thanks to Darren Brookfield’s goal.

Albion boss Brian Pritchard was there to see it.

Lower-ranked Burscough, relegated from the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League’s top tier last term, occupy 13th place in Division One North after three matches this term.

Kick off at Victoria Park on Saturday is 3pm.
