Burnley Wins Second Preseason Friendly to Improve to 2-0; Lancashire Neighbor Accrington Stanley Falls to Claret, 1-0, as Gilchrist Scores in Second Straight Match

BALTIMORE, Maryland July 26, 2013 - Jason Gilchrist scored in his second straight match for the senior Claret, and Burnley's two reserve keepers again combined for a second whitewash, as the Claret stopped Accrington Stanley, 1-0, in a match not nearly as close as the score indicated. Burnley had several scores taken back by questionable officiating decisions during the match at Accrington's Store First Stadium played in front of over 3,100 fans, of which over 1500 were Burnley fans. Gilchrist - just 19 years old and a graduate of the Claret's youth division team - scored in the 73rd minute on a feed from Scott Arfield.

Several Key Players sat out the match, the second this week after Sunday's 8-0 win over Fifth Division Austrian Side FC Grossklein, a match that was played in Austria. Burnley is back in action Tuesday night at Preston.
