Bradford Sunday Alliance trio begin Sunday FA Cup bid
12:10am Saturday 20th October 2012 in Sport By Trevor Adams
VENUE: West Bowling will use Horsfall Stadium for the FA Sunday Cup tie with Thirly
The Bradford Sunday Alliance League will have three representatives taking part in this season’s FA Sunday Cup, which starts tomorrow.
Thornton United enter the competition for the first time and they entertain Hessle Rangers, who play in the Hull Sunday League, at Manningham Mills.
Bolton Woods have also been drawn at home and this season will play their home matches at Thackley.
They welcome renowned cup fighters Drum FC, from Humberside, who also play in the Hull Sunday League.
West Bowling have Brad-ford Park Avenue’s Horsfall Stadium as their home ground, where they will entertain Merseyside team Thirly, who play in the Liverpool Business League.
All these matches kick off at 2pm.
It is also Bradford & District Sunday Cup second-round day tomorrow.
One of the outstanding ties is between White Eagles and Victoria Rangers. Both sides have made good starts to the season in Division One of the Alliance, with Rangers currently top of the table with seven wins from nine.
The all-Premier Division tie featuring Wyke Wanderers against Bradford Skip Hire is another eye-catching match-up.
And Division One Cuedos Rangers will hope to spring a surprise when Premier Division Queensbury are the visitors. Both sides have been struggling in their respective leagues.

Cold, hungover; it was only there to bridge the gap until the pubs opened.
Sadly, in those days, Sunday opening was 12.00 till 2.00pm and kickoff was 11.00am. That meant that the final whistle didn't go until 12.45.
Forget showering, if there were any. Get to the nearest pub for the last hour.
Anyone remember NorthWard Utd who used to be based at what is now the Ital and played close to the Coach & Horses, Bradford Moor?
As they said, Another Sunday and sweet F.A.
Hopefully its the football thats the priority these days.
Good luck to you all.
