An emphatic 6-1 win for our Under 18s as they beat the Droylsden Youth Centre U17 Panthers away from home to get back to winning ways. Our Under 21s came from behind to beat Bury U21s 3-1 at Gigg Lane, capped off with a wondergoal from Lewis McGill. While our Women’s and Reserves teams were unable to claim points this weekend, the focus now shifts to the week ahead and the opportunities it brings. A big well done to all our teams – onwards and upwards for Avro! Written by James Costello

Whilst the first team travel down down to Darlaston, our Reserves, Under-18s, and Under-21s all take to the pitch in important home fixtures. Our Avro Reserves kick off the weekend’s action as they host Moston Brook at 1:15 PM on Saturday November 29th. The sides drew 2-2 when they met in the reverse fixture last month, as the reserves look to go one better this time against the locals. Avro Under 18s welcome Wythenshawe at 1:45 PM on Sunday November 30th. Wythenshawe are without a win and lay bottom of the North West Youth Alliance Premier Division, meanwhile our Under-18s will be looking to make it two league wins on the bounce. Rounding off the weekend, our 5th place Avro Under 21s host 6th FC United at 4 PM on Sunday in the North West Under 21 Development League Premier Division. Both sides got promoted last season and have made good starts to their league campaign.

Available at: https://www.avrofc.co.uk/avro-fc-match-weekend-report/ It wasn’t the set of results we hoped for, but there were plenty of positives to take from the weekend across all our teams. Avro’s First Team saw their fixture against Darlaston Town postponed, with the match now rescheduled for Wednesday 17th December. Our Under 21s produced a strong, competitive performance in a 1–1 draw against FC United’s U21s at the Vestacare Stadium as they remain 5 th in the NWU21 Premier Division. The Reserves were unfortunate to come away empty-handed in a narrow 1–0 defeat to Moston Brook First Team, with Mason Dunkley-Hemlin netting the game’s only goal. The Under 18s lost 5-0 to Wythenshawe at home, which leaves them in 8 th of the Premier Division. Plenty of chances to turn performances into results lie ahead, starting with our Under 21s taking on Bury in the Cup next week! Written by James Costello
