posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Bradford (Park Avenue) would like to send our warmest wishes to John Gibson, our former assistant kit man, who has recently undergone a kidney transplant. We’re delighted to hear that John is recovering well and, in his own words, is now “out on parole”!

John’s dedication and support during his time with the club made him an integral part of the Bradford (Park Avenue) family, and it’s fantastic to see him making strides in his recovery.

From everyone at the club – players, staff, and the Green Army – we’re wishing you all the best, John, as you continue your journey back to full health. We’re all behind you!

Take care, and we hope to see you back at Horsfall soon.

Matchday Preview: Bradford (Park Avenue) vs. Sherwood Colliery

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Welcome to Horsfall Community Stadium for today’s fixture, as Bradford (Park Avenue) host Sherwood Colliery in a clash crucial for both teams as we approach the midpoint of the season.

League Position and Form

Bradford (Park Avenue) currently sit in 8th place in the Northern Premier League East Division, with 29 points from 17 games. The Avenue have showcased strong form recently, however recently lost their unbeaten run with a loss to Newton Aycliffe on the Road. After a few postponements in recent weeks, Craig Elliott’s Avenue squad will be looking start a new run in today’s important fixture.

Sherwood Colliery, meanwhile, find themselves struggling at the lower end of the table in 18th place, with 16 points. Despite their position, they have picked up some slight form and shown they can score goals, with an impressive 4-1 win over Liversedge and a 3-3 draw vs Sheffield in their last six matches.

Key Players

For Bradford (Park Avenue):

  • Connor Shanks and Paddy Sykes lead the scoring charts with 6 goals each, providing a lethal attacking threat.
  • Dan Francis is also in fine form, contributing 5 goals, and will be crucial in breaking through Sherwood’s defensive line.

For Sherwood Colliery:

  • Alexander Duhameau has been the standout performer, netting 6 goals this season.
  • Ewan Robson has chipped in with 4 goals, adding depth to their attacking options.

Recent Form

Bradford have been consistent, with strong defensive displays and an efficient attack:

  • Last match: 1-1 Draw vs Dunston
  • Form: W D W D L D

Sherwood Colliery, despite their position, have shown glimpses of brilliance:

  • Last match: 1-0 loss vs Garforth Town
  • Form: D L W L L L.

Tactical Battle

Bradford’s recent attacking prowess, paired with the stability offered by players like Kareem Hassan-Smith in defence, will make them hard to break down. Sherwood’s success will hinge on players like Duhameau and Robson finding space to exploit Avenue’s defence.

Prediction

With Bradford in good form and Sherwood struggling for consistency, Avenue should have enough to secure a win today. However, complacency could allow Sherwood’s attacking players to cause an upset.

Let’s get behind the team and create a fantastic atmosphere as we aim for another vital three points!
