Match Preview

Taddy’s attention turns to the cup competitions this week with tonight’s West Riding County Cup tie against Eccleshill United followed up by an FA Trophy tie at Droylsden on Saturday.

Simon Collins’ side come into this evening’s contest full of confidence after back-to-back league victories over Loughborough and Wisbech respectively has seen Albion rise to 9th in the Evo-Stik East League.

This competition may not be a priority for the Brewers but it does provide an opportunity to extend their current unbeaten run to four and continue to build momentum.

Tonight’s visitors from Bradford achieved promotion from the NCEL Division One last season via the play-offs and they currently sit in 13th place back in the Premier Division.

The two sides last met in pre-season a couple years back with the Eagles winning 3-2 at the Mitton Group Stadium.

In the West Riding County Cup last year Sean Regan’s side fell at the first hurdle losing 2-0 at home to Yorkshire Amateur whereas Albion reached the semi-final before being beaten by the same score-line by Selby Town.

Team News: Chris Howarth (ankle), Corey Roper (MCL sprain) and Joe Lumsden (quad strain) are all still missing but Paddy Miller is to make his first start of the season. Mitch Langton and Jack Walters also in-line for a start with Hardy, Coates, Davidson and Mycoe all rested.
