Bradford (Park Avenue) return to the Horsfall Community Stadium this Saturday, 28th September, for a crucial Northern Premier League East Division encounter against Heaton Stannington. It’s our first home game in over a month, and the Green Army is called upon to come out in full force to back the team!
The Opponents: Heaton Stannington
Heaton Stannington come into the match after an impressive 4-2 home win against Newton Aycliffe, with goals from Leighton Hopper, Connor Walker, Joseph Thompson, and Louis Anderson. They currently sit on 8 points from 7 games, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. They are also ranked 10th in the form table over the last six matches. Heaton Stannington will be confident, but they’ll face a tough challenge on the road against Avenue, who are aiming to climb the table.
Avenue’s Form and Playoff Push
Bradford (Park Avenue) currently sit 15th in the league with 7 points from 6 matches (2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses). A victory on Saturday could see Avenue leapfrog Heaton Stannington and close the gap to within three places of the playoff spots—if other results go our way. It’s a vital opportunity to gain ground and turn recent performances around.
Craig Elliott’s side will be looking for standout performances from players like Connor Shanks, James Hanson, and from new signing Sonny Whittingham, and potentially Mark Beevers, dependant on his international clearance.
With Heaton Stannington’s recent good form, Avenue will need to be at their best, and the fans’ support could make all the difference.
