PADIHAM took their total number of players used in pre-season friendlies to 22 when the Storks drew 0-0 away to Freckleton last night.

With defences on top throughout and both sets of forwards still looking to get their sights on goal adjusted, Wayne Morrison came closest to breaking the deadlock when the lively Padiham forward hit the home side's crossbar late in the game.

Padiham's next outing takes place on Monday, August 2 against the Burnley FC Under 19 side at the Arbories, kick off 7pm.
