Following a 2-2 draw against Mossley on Monday 26th — all eyes now turn towards Avro’s journey to Merseyside as they play Bootle FC this Saturday afternoon, (kick-off 3pm), writes Stan Ashcroft.
When asked about Avro’s upcoming challenge manager David Birch said in the post-match interview — “They finished just off the top spots last season, so I think that tells you everything you need to know. “Another very, very difficult game but we’ll go there to compete and play to win.”
Avro will be looking to build upon their last performance and show another good side that they can be a difficult squad to play against.
The Liverpool based team experienced a shock defeat earlier in the week against Vauxhall Motors.
The bizarre game saw them stack up a three-goal lead within the first 15 minutes but for it to be blown away over the course of the match with the scoreline finishing 6-3 after the wheels fell off.
Bootle FC have won every other league game so far this season so the RO will be hoping the squad are more reminiscent of their last half of football played — in order to compete with what will be a challenging opposition.
Avro FC were defeated by Bootle FC on both occasions last season — 1-0 away and 3-1 at home.
The squad are chomping at the bit for this fixture and will be hoping to make a statement to the league — as they will feel their current position in the table doesn’t give a fair reflection of their quality and capabilities.
