In a month where a current Academy scholar registered to play for the senior squad, Bradford (Park Avenue) are hosting open trails in an attempt to unearth yet more young talent to join the Academy sides for the 2020/21 season.

The trails are open to 16-19 year olds as the club looks to find the next generation of footballers to join the Academy, as well as candidates to join our Under 19’s squad this season.

The trials for the Academy and Under 19’s side will take place at the University of Bradford training facility, behind the Laisteridge Lane Student Village.

The trials will take place from 3-5pm on Friday the 29th of November 2019.

Due to torrential downpours tonight’s Academy fixture against Shelley has been postponed.

Bradford (Park Avenue) Academy play host to Shelley U19’s tonight at the Horsfall Stadium in the Northern U19 Alliance Football League.

Des Hazels side will be looking to bounce back after dropping out of the Pat Rice Trophy in a closely fought 2 – 1 game away at Athersley Recreation towards the end of October.

The side will likely be spurred on by the fact that three of their number received a call up to the first team last week, proving there’s a real path way for talented young players into the National League North side.

Come along and show your support to the young side tonight. Entry costs just £3 for Adults and £1 for under 18’s.

Kick Off: 7:45PM

A ten man Avenue U19’s ran riot last night at the Horsfall Stadium, netting 5 times to secure all 3 points in the Northern Alliance Under 19 League.

A free kick in the 12th minute saw T. Ali open the scoring with a header from a well delivered free kick.

The second came just twelve minutes later as Lyons tapped in a loose ball at the back post.

Lyons then secured his brace just six minutes later, sliding in at the back post to extend the Avenue’s lead to three.

It wasn’t all plain sailing for the Avenue however, as H. Ali was shown a red card just moments before the half time break for lashing out after being fouled by Ab. Khan, who received a yellow for his part in the incident.

Eccleshill came out strongly in the second half, making the most of the one man advantage with a headed goal from Aw. Khan just four minutes into the half.

But despite an extended period of pressure the Avenue U19’s defended resolutely and Eccleshill were unable to break through.

Lyons then struck again in the 71st minute, counter attacking to take the ball past a rooted Eccleshill defence before calmly slotting the ball past the keeper to claim his hat trick.

Eccleshill continued to apply pressure, but a counter attack from debutante Scarowi in the 83rd minute sealed the result.
