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.”
