The Bradford (Park Avenue) Sports Foundation is pleased to share that we have recently met with Age UK Bradford District to begin discussions on how we can work together in the future.

As part of this developing relationship, the Foundation has committed to inviting Age UK Bradford District to an upcoming First Team matchday at Horsfall Community Stadium. This will be a great opportunity to welcome their team, highlight their important work, and continue exploring ways we can support older people across Bradford.

We look forward to further talks on how this partnership can grow, delivering projects and opportunities that will benefit both organisations and, most importantly, our local community.

The spirit of inclusion and community will be at the heart of the Yorkshire Rotary Accessible Games this October, as people with disabilities come together to enjoy a special day of sport, fun and inspiration.

The Games, now in their second year, take place on Sunday 19th October 2025 at Woodhouse Grove School, Apperley Bridge. Open to anyone aged 9 and above who is registered as having a disability, the event is free to enter and promises a welcoming environment where everyone is encouraged to get involved.

Competitors will have the chance to take part in up to three activities, with options ranging from archery, athletics and swimming to boccia, darts, table tennis, kurling and wheelchair races. For those looking to try something new, there will also be taster sessions in football skills, cricket, goalball and even soft play axe throwing.

Bradford (Park Avenue) Sports Foundation will be supporting the event, with Lewis Harris and Mat Everett both involved in the build-up and on the day itself. Their presence reflects the Foundation’s commitment to providing inclusive opportunities and supporting initiatives that bring people together through sport.

The Games are organised and supported by Yorkshire Rotary, who have ensured that entry is completely free for both competitors and carers. Free tea and coffee will be available throughout the day, with food and soft drinks on sale from the cashless café.

Whether attending as an individual or as part of a group, the Games are about more than competition — they are about creating memories, building friendships and celebrating what people can achieve together.

It’s matchday at the Horsfall Community Stadium as Bradford (Park Avenue) host Dunston UTS in the Northern Premier League East Division. Kick-off is at 3pm.

Avenue come into today’s game unbeaten in three league matches after a 1-1 draw away at Hallam on Tuesday night. A superb strike from Prince Ekpolo levelled the score, while Jack Hall produced a standout display between the posts – including a penalty save – to secure a battling point.

Reflecting on that performance, Manager Craig Elliott was pleased with his side’s reaction in the second half:

“We had moments of not defending really well in the first half, but I’ve got to give the lads a lot of credit. They responded, and I thought we were excellent after the break. We were unlucky not to put one of those chances away – Jack didn’t really have much to do in the second half.”

Elliott also highlighted the debut of new signing Adriano Moke, who slotted straight into the midfield:

“He was superb. Calm on the ball, disciplined, and that gave Prince the license to get forward – you could see that with his goal. Adriano is a brilliant player and we’re lucky to have him in the squad.”

Looking ahead to today’s fixture, Elliott knows the challenge his side face:

“We’re three unbeaten, and we’ve had one of the toughest starts of any team in the division. I’m fairly calm and happy with what we’ve done so far. Dunston are always up there and will be again this year, so it’s another game to look forward to – and hopefully we can continue our unbeaten run.”
