- Kick-off is at 2pm
Good afternoon
And welcome to today’s live blog.
It’s a slightly different affair to Saturday (who’s still on a massive high?!) but it’s another opportunity for Stephen Dobbie’s development side to impress.
The Seasiders are in Central League action against Huddersfield Town’s B Team, with the game taking place at Longridge Town’s ground.
With no midweek game for the first-team, there’s every opportunity we could see some senior players in need of minutes. Stuart Moore is a certainty in goal.
Blackpool FC writer Matt Scrafton is at the game and will be providing regular updates on our live blog.
The teams are out
There’s a good 30 or so fans here in attendance. No Charlie Patino chants just yet though...
Kick-off is imminent.
KICK OFF
Huddersfield get the game underway.
Luke Garbutt is filling in at centre-back, with Alex Lankshear at left-back.
1 - Close
Almost a rapid early goal for Huddersfield, as striker Ondo is played through the middle but toe pokes wide.
Early let off for the Seasiders.
4- - Close
Dannen Francis does well to create space for himself before fizzing in a dangerous ball across the face of the six-yard box, but none of his teammates can force the ball home.
6 - GOAL BLACKPOOL! (1-0)
Brad Holmes glances home from Dannen Francis' right-wing cross. Francis has been superb early on.
9 - Over
A deep free-kick catches out Huddersfield’s defence as it falls for Luke Mariette a few yards outside the box, but he skies his effort well over.
