Due to Ossett Albion’s continued involvement in the Pat Rice Trophy, the Northern U19 Alliance scheduled home game on Monday 22nd January 2018 has been postponed. However the team will travel to The Fantastic Media Welfare Ground instead for a previously postponed game against AFC Emley which has been arranged in its place. The game will be a 19:45 kick off and admission is £3 for adults and £1 for under 18’s.

Also the home game against Scarborough Scholarship in the English Colleges League has been brought forward to Wednesday 24th January 2018 with a 13:30 kick off at Grange Tech College.

Yesterday’s academy game was abandoned due to a serious injury to BPA scholar Joshua Hall, after an unintentional two footed tackle. Tally Clayton (Club Sport Rehabilitator) attended to Josh on the pitch before paramedics arrived. Josh was taken to hospital by the Doncaster ambulance service with a possible fracture of the ankle. Tally attended hospital with Josh and was happy to report after seeing a number of doctors, no fracture was found. However, Josh has suffered some nerve damage from the impact and currently can not feel the lower portion of his foot and toes. This should return to Josh in a couple of days and he will then be able to start his rehabilitation with Tally. Both Josh and the Academy staff team would like to thank Campsmount College staff for their assistance in the incident and from all at the club we wish Josh a speedy recovery.
