Current Standings:
Bradford (Park Avenue) are currently positioned 5th in the league, just below the top four and striving to close the gap with Stocksbridge Park Steels and Belper Town.
With a recent run of consistent form, Avenue have secured valuable points in the last few fixtures, most recently on Tuesday night with a 0-0 draw vs league leaders Emley, and Saturday’s 3-1 win on the road vs Consett. This puts them well within reach of the top spots, and another win could significantly boost their push for promotion.
Meanwhile, Bridlington Town find themselves in 16th place, struggling to maintain consistency.
They have managed three wins in their last six games, with victories over Sheffield, Garforth and Dunston. However, most recently they fell to a 3-2 defeat to 2nd place Cleethorpes Town.
Key Players to Watch:
- Bradford (Park Avenue): In recent weeks, Paddy Sykes, Connor Shanks and Dan Francis have been in goal-scoring form, while the backline has seen some standout performances led by Ben Blythe, Mark Beevers and Josh Ashman.
- Bridlington Town: The main threat will come from top scorer Danny Earl, who has netted four goals this season. Michael Coulson and Sam Leverett have also contributed to the attack and will be key players in Bridlington’s efforts.
Preview:
Craig Elliott’s side will look to capitalise on Bridlington’s inconsistent form, aiming to dominate possession and create chances early on. Maintaining the defensive solidity seen in recent matches will be crucial, as will taking advantage of set pieces and any lapses in Bridlington’s backline. With the recent momentum and a weekend of rest, Bradford (Park Avenue) should enter the game with plenty of confidence, seeking to secure all three points and continue their ascent up the league table.
