Mixed week for Park Avenue

Bradford (Park Avenue) endured a mixed week, having snapped up Alex Davidson from North Ferriby United, but were knocked out by the Villagers in the Doodson Sport Cup Quarter Final.

Despite the postponement of the game against Northwich Victoria, Avenue captured Davidson, who has been recognised as a potent threat with his pace and trickery. However, the attacker was cup tied for the trip to his former club, with Avenue exiting the Doodson Sport Cup. But Bradford were to count the cost of conceding three penalties and receiving red cards to Rob O'Brien and Adam Clayton. It is hoped that Davidson will feature against Mickleover Sports on Saturday. The game at the Horsfall Stadium will be crucial for both sides, as Avenue will be looking to close the gap on Marine, and the Sports are fighting to avoid relegation.

Also, Bradford will be in action on Monday night, as they face Whitby Town in the rearranged fixture, that was postponed last Monday due to a waterlogged pitch. The Horsfall pitch has suffered badly with the weather, but with the increasing temperatures, Avenue will be looking forward to getting back on home turf. The club hold four games in hand over Marine, due to the postponements, and will be aiming to end the season on a high.

Bradford (Park Avenue) will be hosting an event, with all proceeds donated to the Don Revie Statue Tribute, on Thursday 1st March, at the Horsfall Stadium at 7.30pm.

The event will be held at the Social Club, with special guests Terry Yorath and Eddie Gray, and the Compere is Avenue’s very own John Helm.

Tickets are priced at £10, including a buffet. For further information, contact Dave Stordy on 01274 204363 or 01274 512989.
