Avenue sign Booty to strengthen midfield options
With the hectic Christmas period shortly upon us and suspensions and injuries challenging our committed but small squad Mark Bower has moved to secure the services of local lad Regan Booty. 22 year old Booty who hails from Huddersfield and came through the Huddersfield Town academy. Booty made 42 appearances for Aldershot whilst on loan which won him his permanent transfer to Notts County. He made 24 appearances for the magpies as they secured a playoff place in last years shortened season, scoring 2 goals along the way. The cultured left footed central midfielder enjoys dictating play, by getting on the ball and creating chances for his team mates. Regan will go straight into the squad for tomorrows National League North home game against inform Leamington. You can see Regan live on our streaming platform.
Regan Booty –
‘I’m glad to get everything sorted in time for the game tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to getting that match day buzz back and to be back playing games. I already know a few of the boys, so I’m looking forward to meet the rest of the squad and get going’
Ryan Toulson –
‘Regan is a player we have kept an eye on over the last few years. Myself and Mark watched him at Huddersfield Town on numerous occasions and we tried to bring him in previously so we know the qualities that Regan can bring to the team. He’s an aspiring young player who wants to progress in the game, so hopefully his hunger and quality will be beneficial all round’
The club would also like to confirm that Ethan Henderson and Ion Ibrain have both left the club and we would like to wish them both well with their footballing careers.

Ladies Lose Out To Altofts
So after a month off due to lockdown and only one training session under the belt we visited Altofts Ladies who were top of the league and already beaten us on our patch this season.
Altofts started strong keeping hold of the ball well with the Avenue Ladies staying disciplined and frustrating the higher opposition.
Altofts were getting frustrated and started making mistakes with no real threats at goal the Avenue Ladies nipped in stole the ball and counter attacked with purpose.
If it wasnt for the Altofts keeper it could have been 2 or 3 before have time with Kirsty Russell Nicole Chamberlain and Millie West carving out glorious oppotunities.
Avenue went into half time on the front foot and expecting Altofts pepper Avenues goal for the 1st 10 mins of the 2nd half, but that never came!
Avenue could have easily had two more great chances before Altofts broke the deadlock with at tap in at the back post when we failed to clear our lines.
10mins later it was 2-0 Altofts with the rain hammering down a long ball skidded off our defenders foot and left Altofts with a 1 on 1 with Annie Roberts.
The game was end to end in horrible conditions but as the 1st goal Altofts got the 3rd with a back post tap in from a corner.
By this point Avenue were playing 2-3-5 to try and finish the game on a high but it never came.
Full time 3-0 loss with a superb performance under the circumstance of the weather and lockdown but 1 very proud manager of the workrate and effort produced. All the players held their heads high and will feel it Monday at work.
Our next match is Farsley Celtic Juniors at Horsfall on Sunday 20th December.

Live Facebook stream for the second half
.A quick update on live streaming. We will unfortunately be unable to live stream on our regular platform the second half of tonight’s game so we will revert your Facebook live.
The technical reason for the problem is that there is a damaged connector on the capture box and due to my personal decision to keep costs tight we have no back up to change it out this evening. We will of course rectify this for the next game and once again apologies. On top of refunding any paying streamers for tonight’s game, if any of our season ticket holders would like to refund for the game I will personally stand on for the money as this is entirely my responsibility and the club shouldn’t suffer for that decision.
