DARWEN: Boss Steve Wilkes is planning a youth revolution in a bid to breathe new life into his flagging squad.

The debuts of teenage trio Leigh Smith, Steve Newton and Damian Stewart against Padiham on Tuesday gave the boss cause for optimism ahead of tomorrow's clash with Holker.

"I'm going to give as many young lads as possible a chance between now and the end of the season," said Wilkes.
