The Lancashire Telegraph provided live updates as Blackburn Rovers reserves took on a strong Preston North End line-up in the Lancashire Senior Cup final.

Rovers named a very inexperienced squad for the match, at Leyland, which kicked off at 3pm.

The squad was Matthew Urwin, Chris Dilo, Ryan Edwards, Raheem Hanley, Adam Henley, Matthew Pearson, Jackson Ramm, Robbie Cotton, Hugo Fernandez, Jaden Hall, Reece Hands, James Knowles, Zac Aley, Micah Evans, Jamie Maclaren and Osayamen Osawe.

Preston, meanwhile, fielded Roy Carroll, Reece James, Clarke Carlisle, Conor McLaughlin, Paul Coutts, Adam Barton, Barry Nicholson, Keith Treacy, Neil Mellor and Iain Hume.

Our news reporter Sam Chadderton - a PNE fan - was at the game and posted updates below.

3-1 on pens Rovers win. Over and out.

5 misses. Mellor. Shocker. 2-1 rovers.

Make that 4th miss - 2apiece.

Carlisle 3rd player to miss. 2-1 rovers at moment.

Rovers players all have arms round each others shoulders like it's a world cup. Bit much that.

Full-time 1-1. Straight to pens for the right to be Lancashire Senior Cup champions! Talk about pressure. Silverware at stake.

Heading for pens here. Att: 1,288.

Not an overstatement to say we've just had a frank lampard moment here. Mellor rocket off bar and yard over line. Liner says no. Clown. 1-1.

@Dan_Devine92 on for @ConorMcL37 at right back. Middleton for @Treace11. Middleton looks nothing like a footy player, but he has something.

Mellor misses open net from 4yrds. He's exactly the same player I remember. Pne on top now.

1-1. Hume back post header.

Finger pointing after another late challenge, this time on @ConorMcL37. 1st yellow. Coutts off for Danny Mayor, another of leyland's finest.

@Treace11 getting a bit of a kicking this half. A few late challenges on him and he's already bandaged up. Nicholson skies 1-on-1. Bad miss.

Rovers 1-0 good control from lofted pass over defence to beat offside trap and half-volley finish.

Cheeky suggestion Rovers should be fined for undermining the Lancashire Senior Cup by fielding an understrength side. 2nd half underway.

Rovers: from above...! http://yfrog.com/h0hjbmmwj

HT 0-0. Desperate hunt for a programme for Rovers team...

Another @Treace11 strike well saved. He'll be massive this year if we keep hold of him. Mellor misses header in same attack.

genuinely don't recognise a single rovers starter. Got to be a youth side. Sorry @lancstelegraph readers!

Pne: Carrol, james, carlisle, mclean, @ConorMcL37, coutts, barton, nicholson, @Treace11, mellor, hume.

guess of 1,000 maybe a little more. Roy carroll in net for pne. Stood level with goalline in case he chucks another in his net.

This is likely PNE's starting line-up for new season, last-min transfers apart.

Mclean header from corner saved @Treace11 hits post with follow-up.

At leyland for PNE v Rovers. Home turf for me. Mellor misses one on one. Strong pne line up, weak looking rovers side.
