Tuesday 21 October 2025 | 7:45pm KO | Horsfall Community Stadium

Bradford (Park Avenue) return to Horsfall on Tuesday night as they host Pontefract Collieries in the First Round of the West Riding County Cup.

Craig Elliott’s side head into the fixture unbeaten in three matches, following a goalless draw with Heaton Stannington at the weekend. Avenue created the better chances throughout but couldn’t find a breakthrough, with Marcus Carver, Joe Ackroyd and Kareem Hassan-Smith all going close in front of goal.

Captain Mark Beevers made his return from injury to lead the side and will hope to build on that display as Avenue look to continue their positive run of form and progress in the County Cup.

The two teams last met in August, when Avenue produced a convincing 3-0 victory at Ossett United’s Ingfield ground — goals from Beevers and a brace from Charlie Winfield sealing all three points in a strong away performance.

Tuesday’s clash provides another opportunity for Elliott’s men to maintain momentum ahead of Saturday’s FA Trophy First Round Proper tie against Morpeth Town, while offering valuable minutes to the wider squad.

Bradford (Park Avenue) return to the Horsfall Community Stadium this afternoon, looking to build on a positive run of form as they face Heaton Stannington in the Northern Premier League East Division.

Craig Elliott’s side sit second in the table, just three points off top spot, following a strong away win at Blyth Town and a 2–2 draw at Silsden in midweek. Avenue will be aiming to continue their impressive recent performances and keep pressure on league leaders Redcar Athletic.

Heaton Stannington arrive in mid-table and have been tough opposition this season, earning seven points from their last four matches. The visitors most recently played out a goalless draw against Newton Aycliffe on Wednesday night.

The two sides met earlier this month in the Isuzu FA Trophy, where Bradford claimed a 2–1 win thanks to goals from Jak McCourt and Tom Corner. Avenue will be hoping for a repeat outcome today as they aim to extend their unbeaten run and maintain their strong home record.

Tuesday 14 October 2025 | 7:45pm KO | 3 Keighley Road, Silsden, Keighley BD20 0EH

Bradford (Park Avenue) make the short trip across Bradford tonight to face Silsden AFC in Northern Premier League East Division action.

Craig Elliott’s side head into the fixture sitting second in the table, just one point behind current leaders Redcar Athletic, and remain unbeaten on the road this season. Saturday’s 2–0 win at Blyth Town, sealed by a Marcus Carver brace, marked Avenue’s seventh league victory and a strong response to the narrow defeat against North Ferriby the previous week.

“Away games at this level are always tough — especially midweek,” Elliott said. “The lads have been at work all day, but we’ll prepare properly and go there with confidence. Silsden have good players and will be up for it, but it’s about us maintaining our standards and building on Saturday’s performance.”

Hosts Silsden, meanwhile, come into the game on the back of a confidence-boosting 3–2 home win over Newton Aycliffe at the weekend — a dramatic finish sealed by a late own goal. That followed a spirited 1–1 draw with Stocksbridge Park Steels in the FA Trophy last Tuesday, where they were only edged out 5–4 on penalties by last season’s NPL East play-off winners.

Currently 19th in the table with two wins, three draws and five defeats, the Cobbydalers will look to build on recent performances and use home advantage under the lights at Keighley Road. Despite a challenging start, their attacking threat has been evident, though their 25 goals conceded is the second-highest in the division.

Avenue will need to remain disciplined and clinical to continue their fine away form and keep pace at the top of the table.

Kick-off: 7:45pm
Venue: 3 Keighley Road, Keighley (BD20 0EH)
Admission: £10 Adults | £7 Concessions (Over 60s & U16s) | £3 U11s

Bradford (Park Avenue) U18s return to FA Youth Cup action tonight, as they host York City U18s under the lights at the Horsfall Community Stadium.

The tie was originally due to be played at York City’s ground, but due to the unavailability of their facilities, both clubs have agreed for Avenue to host.

Avenue head into the fixture full of confidence after a dramatic victory in the previous round away at Cleethorpes Town. David Nsingi’s second-half equaliser forced penalties, with the lads showing great composure to win 4–2 in the shootout and progress.

York will provide a tough test, and the Avenue youngsters will once again need the backing of the Green Army as they look to continue their journey in this prestigious competition.

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.”
