After returning to winning ways last weekend with a 1-0 away victory against Clitheroe, Avro will be looking to build on this when we welcome Witton Albion to The Vestacare this weekend. After a vital penalty save from Cam Mason to keep it at 0-0, it was a late strike from Kieron Molloy which secured the win for The Ro in the 88th minute. In what is always a tough place to travel to, it was a crucial three points for Avro.
Witton Albion at the visitors to The Vestacare this weekend as we look to continue our winning ways. After a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture, we will be looking to make amends this time around. A familiar face to the Witton squad is Geffry Ebhote who was a key figure in the back line for our promotion campaign and our first years in the NPL West.
Witton Albion:
Founded in 1887; Witton Albion play their home fixtures at The U Lock It Stadium. Although they are a familiar name in this division, they had a difficult campaign last time out, finishing 17th in the league. In a slightly better campaign this time around, they sit 13th in the league, albeit 19 points away from Stalybridge Celtic who occupy the final play-off position.
Head to Head:
The sides have met five times in The Northern Premier League West, with this being the sixth meeting between the two. Avro hold the slight advantage winning two, drawing two and just the one victory so far for Witton Albion, The Ro will be looking to extend this run this weekend. The most recent meeting in the reverse fixture earlier in the season saw a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw at The U Lock It Stadium.
