Lets All Raise A Glass Of Claret

Last updated : 25 May 2009 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)
Barnsley and Iain Hume got some semblance of justice today after Burnley defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley.

A stunning strike from Wade Elliott sent the Clarets to the top flight for the first time in 33 years!

In a further satisfying twist, former Barnsley target Jamie Ward was sent off for two handballs.

Due to Burnley's promotion, The Reds will not recieve £200,000 from United concering the transfer of Brian Howard, but seeing him, Morgan and 30,000 Blades blubbing at Wembley makes up for all that!

Thank you Burnley! For the six points and a very satisfying day for Barnsley Football Club!
