Farsley Celtic 0 Bradford Park Avenue 3

FORMER Bradford record goal-scorer Kevin Hector will be seeing a side in good form when he visits Horsfall Stadium for tomorrow night’s friendly.

Hector is the guest of honour when Avenue take on FC Halifax Town. The club are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hector’s 44-goal haul in the 1965/66 season when Bobby Ham was his strike partner.

Ham in now a director of Halifax and he will be reunited with his former team-mate as both plan to attend the warm-up game.

Avenue prepared for it with a 3-0 win over Farsley Celtic at Throstle Nest at the weekend while the Shaymen were held to a goalless draw at Stockport County.

Bradford boss Martin Drury was pleased with his side’s display but is wary of the test Halifax will present tomorrow, saying: “With two games in three days we have had to manage the squad a little bit.

“We did well at Farsley but Halifax will be a big test for us because they are a quality side. There will be changes from Saturday and James Walshaw, Nathan Turner and a few of the others who came on from the bench against Farsley will start against Halifax.”

Avenue controlled the midfield in the first half at Throstle Nest, with Danny Schofield and Luke Dean in the central roles, and defended well but their only goal came from an early penalty, Richard Marshall firing home from the spot.

Two goals late in the second half from Craig King and Michael Potts put Avenue in control but they had to defend well in the closing stages to earn their clean sheet.

Farsley are also in action tomorrow, heading to Tadcaster Albion.

GUISELEY needed a late winner from substitute Joe Gaughan to beat BRIGHOUSE TOWN 2-1 at the Dual Seal Stadium.

Town took a first-half lead when Steve Hollingworth pounced after Lions keeper Tom Stewart could only parry a shot from Ryan Hall.

The visitors levelled from the penalty spot after Adam Field fouled Rory Boulding and Gaughan volleyed in two minutes from time.

Close-season signing Marcus Edwards missed out on a hat-trick as ALBION SPORTS won 5-1 at Yorkshire Amateur.

The home side took an early lead through Adam Shaw but Edwards soon equalised and a Danny Cunningham effort just after the half hour gave Albion a half-time lead.

After the break Aran Basi netted a direct free-kick before Edwards added his second and Lee Elam wrapped up the scoring.

LIVERSEDGE had James French, Kieran Corley and Josh Hope on target as they won 3-1 at SILSDEN. Craig Nicholls grabbed a late consolation for the Cobbydalers.

Anthony Hilton was on target for THACKLEY as they came from a goal down to draw 1-1 at Oxenhope.

ECCLESHILL were also held to a draw, 2-2 at Golcar on Friday night. Eli Hey and Brandan Hammand were the Eagles’ scorers with Craig Cartwright – from the spot – and Dean Wharham netting for the home side.
