Bradford Park Avenue chase semi-final berth

8:38pm Tuesday 14th February 2012 in Sport By Ian Whiting

Bradford Park Avenue will hope to put a run of four postponements behind them tomorrow and battle for a place in the Doodson Sports Evo-Stik League Cup semi-finals.

If the last-eight tie at North Ferriby United does go ahead it is unlikely that new signing Alex Davidson will feature.

The lively forward began this season with Guiseley but returned to Ferriby after failing to land a regular starting place.

Horsfall boss John Deacey signed Davidson from Ferriby last weekend but even if he is not cup-tied it is unlikely that he will make his Avenue debut against his former club.

The four call-offs that Avenue, and likewise Ferriby, have endured mean they have not played this month so have no fresh injury worries.

Avenue’s leading scorer Aiden Savory (foot) was the only concern before the lay-off but that impromptu break has also helped James Knowles (knee) and Matty James (back) recover from previous injuries.

ALBION SPORTS are aiming to emerge from winter hibernation tomorrow night as well.

They also face a cup tie as they are due to host Barton Town Old Boys in the second round of the Northern Counties East League Cup.

Albion’s lay-off has been even longer than Avenue’s as they have yet to play in any competition in 2012.
