The Vestacare Stadium is hosting another mid-week fixture this Wednesday night as Avro FC take on City of Liverpool in the league. There were some lovely little passing combinations last Saturday from the RO’ as they put in a top performance against Widnes — earning them a point for their efforts. Widnes rose to the top of the table after converting a penalty in the final moments of the game. The controversial decision came after the officials thought man of the match Max Harrop — who ran his socks off all game — handled the ball in the area. Avro were very unlucky to not come away with all three points — but another opportunity presents itself this week as they look to climb the table.
The Purps have had a slow start to their campaign with five points on the board after seven matches. They come off the back of a defeat in the FA Trophy third qualifying round against Macclesfield. Danger man Morris has been sharp in front of goal for City of Liverpool FC this season grabbing himself eight goals in all competitions so far. Avro manager David Birch spoke after the Widnes game about what he knew about the City of Liverpool squad. As always — the management team will sit down and have a look at them this week to analyse ways to beat the opposition but there are no easy games despite the team sitting in 21st position.
However — Avro will be hoping that nobody else will be sitting out the game on the physio bed with an injury as concerns were sparked following Dwyer’s substitution — as he came off with some discomfort. The RO have a deep squad and the many injuries so far this season have not seemed to disrupt the rhythm of the team on the field of play. Scoring at home in the league hasn’t been an issue for Avro this season so the Avro fans should be in for a treat this Wednesday.
Coming up this weekend Avro FC will face Stalybridge Celtic away in the league on Saturday, 12th October.
