The RO’ in Search of Crucial Points
After a week to reset – a result is needed against Hanley Town in an effort to advance within the Northern Premier League West. Saturday afternoon’s fixture will be an important one as Avro and the Town sit 6 points away from each other in the table in positions 19th and 22nd respectfully.
It was a tough result last weekend as Avro FC continued on their barren spell losing 2-1 to Congleton. David Birch and Mike Norton will be jeering up their squad to pin some points to the board this weekend — as over the past five games only a single point has been picked up — which was away to Widnes. However, despite this — the side have shown many glimpses of quality and the overall performances haven’t strayed too far from solid. But at the end of the day — it is a results business and that’s why Saturday’s game is so crucial — if the team want to be in and around success at the end of season.
Hanley Town currently lie at the base of the league and have played a game less than the teams above them. They have recently acquired a new talisman in striker Ajay Leitch-Smith who has already opened his account for the Hanley on his 2nd game against Hednesford Town. The ex-Crewe Alexandra and Morcombe man joined the Town mid October from Stafford Rangers. The Town come off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Kidsgrove Athletic and have won only won one in their previous ten fixtures.
Avro’s next fixture is a demanding one against Vauxhall Motors away. Next Saturday at 3pm. The RO’ return to the vestacare in the Fenix trophy on Tues 12th November at 7:45, in a historic game against Gilla FC.
