posted in: First Team News, News | 0

Northern Premier League East Division
Tuesday 18 November 2025 – 7:45pm KO
Newton Aycliffe Sports Club

Bradford (Park Avenue) return to league action tonight with a trip to County Durham to face Newton Aycliffe, as Craig Elliott’s side look to build on an encouraging performance at Radcliffe in the FA Trophy.

Avenue arrive sitting third in the Northern Premier League East Division with 31 points from 17 matches. Saturday’s penalty shootout defeat at Radcliffe came after an impressive 2-2 draw in normal time, featuring goals from Marcus Carver and Charlie Winfield and a much-improved overall display.

With league fixtures now returning thick and fast, tonight presents an important chance to maintain pressure on the top two and continue building momentum.

Newton Aycliffe currently sit 19th in the table with 16 points from 16 games. Their recent form includes a 2-2 home draw with Lincoln United, while Saturday’s scheduled trip to North Ferriby was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Despite their league position, Aycliffe have proven competitive throughout the season and will be looking to climb out of the bottom three with a positive result on home soil.

Avenue will need to be sharp, disciplined and clinical to secure points away from home, with another committed performance required to break down a determined opponent.
