Avro host their final home fixture of 2024 on Boxing Day as they look to bounce back from their defeat at Atherton Collieries on Saturday afternoon. This defeat ended a run of 7 league fixtures unbeaten for the Ro, 5 of which have seen Avro claim maximum points.
It is a welcome home fixture for Avro as they look to build on their strong home form so far this season. In their opening 11 league fixtures at home, they have only lost twice, remaining unbeaten in 9 of these 11 games. They will be looking to make it 7 home wins for the season at The Vestacare as we pass the halfway mark and the play off places still firmly in sight.
Despite the strong home form, this will prove to be a difficult test as Trafford have also enjoyed positive results on the road this season. They currently sit 5th in away performances after winning 6 of their opening 11 away fixtures. However, a recent run of inconsistent results has seen them slip out of the play off places as they currently sit 9th in the league, 4 points of the play offs.
The sides met twice last season with Avro unbeaten in both. The first fixture being a boxing day draw at The Vestacare as a strike in the 80th minute from Jack Anderton cancelled out a 71st minute goal from the visitors. The reverse fixture at Shawe View provided a bank holiday thriller as Avro came out the victors in a 4-2 win. A first half hattrick from Kyle Hawley but The Ro in the driving seat and he added a 4th to his goal tally just after the hour mark to seal the points for Avro.
Tickets are available for this fixture on the Avro website and pay on the day is also available at the turnstiles with cash and card payments accepted. We’d love to see as many as possible inside The Vestacare supporting the Ro.
