🏆 FULL TIME | BRADFORD ALBION 5–1 GREENGATES RESERVES ⚽🔥

INTERMEDIATE CUP – 1ST ROUND

What a performance from the Albion! 💪🟡🔴

From the first whistle, the lads looked sharp, confident and completely up for it, putting together some excellent football and controlling the game for large periods.

⚽ 20’ — 1–0 | ELLIS FOLD

Albion win a free kick on the halfway line and Ellis Fold steps up.

What happened next? 🤯

Ellis absolutely smashes it into the top bins from distance! 🚀

One we're sure we'll be hearing about for a while!

⚽ 21’ — 2–0 | MORGAN THORNTON

Less than a minute later, some lovely build-up play sees Daps find the ball and put Morgan Thornton through.

Morgan makes absolutely no mistake and smashes it home to double Albion's lead!

⚽ 35’ — GREENGATES 1–2

Against the run of play, Greengates manage to find a way through and their striker gets a shot away.

Sutts gets a hand to it but unfortunately can't keep it out.

The lads didn't let it knock them off their stride.

⚽ 52’ — 3–1 | ELLIS FOLD

Toby finds Daps, who gets taken out just inside the Greengates half.

Daps steps up and delivers a beautiful ball into the box, and once again Ellis is there.

A powerful run, a rocket of a header and straight into the top bins! 💥

Ellis wasn't finished there!

⚽ 70’ — 4–1 | LIAM HARRISON

Rhys Hadley intercepts an onrushing Greengates player before sliding the ball through to Liam Harrison.

Liam drives forward and, to be fair, it looked like nobody wanted to get near him! 😂

Around 10 yards outside the box, Liam lets fly with an absolute rocket.

The keeper had absolutely no chance. 🚀🥅

⚽ 85’ — 5–1 | MORGAN THORNTON

The final goal of the afternoon was another beauty.

A ball is sent forward to Bailey Breaks, who does what Bailey does best — bullies the defender 💪😂 — before flicking it across to Morgan.

Morgan takes it on the half-volley and produces a worldie into the top bins! 🤌🔥

🏁 FULL TIME: BRADFORD ALBION 5–1 GREENGATES RESERVES

🏁 FULL TIME | WBA 1–4 BRADFORD ALBION ⚽🔥

WE’RE BACK TO WINNING WAYS! 🟡🔴

After two tough defeats, today meant a lot to the lads — and what a response it was. From the first whistle, Albion looked switched on, playing some brilliant football, moving the ball well and dominating possession.

⚽ 3’ — ALBION 1–0 WBA

Just three minutes in, a long ball found Owen Doherty, who produced a brilliant header through to Kallum Towey. Towey was never going to miss, calmly slotting it home to give Albion the perfect start.

⚽ 13’ — WBA 1–1 ALBION

WBA won a corner and, after the ball bounced around the box, we couldn't quite get it cleared. They eventually toe-poked it home to bring the game level.

But the lads didn't let it affect them.

⚽ 23’ — ALBION 2–1 WBA

Daps doing Daps things. 😂

Donrique controlled the ball on his chest before slipping a beautiful ball through to Towey.

What happened next was absolutely filthy.

Towey unleashed an absolute rocket from the edge of the box, straight into the top bins. 🚀🎯

An absolute weapon of a goal — the keeper didn't stand a chance!

⚽ 30’ — ALBION 3–1 WBA

Albion were completely dominating the game and playing some brilliant football.

Then Daps produced another bit of magic, slipping Towey through with a filthy backheel nutmeg. 😮‍💨

Towey looked up, spotted the surging John-Lee Metcalf and delivered a perfect ball across to him.

John-Lee made absolutely no mistake, smashing it top bins to put Albion two goals clear.

🔥 HALF TIME: WBA 1–3 BRADFORD ALBION

The second half started exactly how we wanted.

Strong, composed and playing football the right way.

The lads created chance after chance, moved the ball beautifully and, most importantly, enjoyed playing together.

No arguing. No distractions. Just the team doing what we know we can do. 👏

And then, with virtually the last kick of the game...

⚽ 90+’ — WBA 1–4 ALBION

Ryan Dunne sent a long ball forward, Daps got on the end of it and calmly buried it into the back of the net. 💥

4–1 ALBION!

🏁 FULL TIME: WBA 1–4 BRADFORD ALBION

After two tough losses, this result meant a lot to everyone involved.

The lads stepped it up a gear today and showed exactly what we're capable of when we work together, enjoy our football and fight for each other.

Every single player put in a massive shift today and deserves a huge pat on the back. 👏👏

Today wasn't about one player — it was about the team. 💪

🔴 WE'RE BACK. WE MOVE FORWARD. WE KEEP GOING. 🔴

23/08/2026

⚽🏁 FULL TIME | BELDON SPORTS FIRST 4–0 BRADFORD ALBION 🏁⚽

A tough one to take today as our unbeaten start to the league season comes to an end.

We knew before kick-off that this was going to be a hard battle, and for large parts of the game the lads stayed in it and competed.

Despite being 1–0 down, we were still right in the game until around the 70th minute and had every chance of finding a way back into it.

Unfortunately, that's where things started to unravel.

Instead of bringing our shooting boots today, it seemed like the lads decided arguing with each other was the better option. 🤦‍♂️

As frustration crept in, we stopped doing the basics that have served us well so far — working for each other, communicating properly and sticking together as a team.

Beldon took advantage, and three late goals turned what had been a tight contest for 70 minutes into a 4–0 scoreline that probably doesn't tell the full story of the game.

That said, there's no point making excuses. We know we can be better, and there's plenty to reflect on and learn from today.

Sometimes a defeat like this can teach you more than a comfortable win.

It's about how we respond now. 👊

We'll get back together, right a few wrongs and look to bounce back stronger next time out.

One bad result doesn't define our season — our reaction to it will.

🟡🔴 WE WIN TOGETHER. WE LOSE TOGETHER. 🔴🟡

UP THE ALBION! ⚽

🟡🔴 UP THE ALBION! 🔴🟡

20/08/2026

🏁⚽ FULL TIME | BRADFORD ALBION 4–1 BINGLEY ATHLETIC ⚽🏁

🔥 SIX POINTS FROM SIX! 🔥

The Albion make it two wins from two to start the 2026/27 season with a fantastic 4–1 victory over Bingley Athletic.

We beat Bingley during pre-season, but we said before the game that pre-season is pre-season — this was the one that mattered. Three points were on the line, and the lads stepped up once again. 👊🟡🔴

From the first whistle, Albion started really well. The movement off the ball was excellent, the passing was sharp and we looked hungry to get ourselves into an early lead.

Our first huge chance came just five minutes in.

A ball over the top found David Paul, who caught it brilliantly with a left-foot volley. It looked destined for the back of the net, but the Bingley keeper pulled off an absolute worldie, somehow tipping it onto the crossbar. 😮‍💨👏

For the opening 35 minutes, Albion were well on top and creating chance after chance, but despite all the good football, we just couldn't find that finishing touch.

Then, in the 38th minute, the breakthrough finally came.

Jaydon Raynor took the goal kick and sent it out towards the advancing Toby Trotter on the left. Toby looked up and did what Toby does best, picking out a beautiful through ball into Ben Bateman.

Ben had absolutely no doubt in his mind.

One-on-one. Chip over the keeper. Goal. 🎯

⚽ 38' — Bradford Albion 1–0 Bingley | BEN BATEMAN

We didn't have to wait long for another.

Straight from the restart, Albion were back on the front foot, applying great pressure and winning possession back.

The ball was fizzed out to Toby, who once again spotted the run in behind, this time from David Paul.

David kept his composure and produced a lovely chip over the keeper to double the advantage.

⚽ 40' — Bradford Albion 2–0 Bingley | DAVID PAUL

Two goals in two minutes. Albion flying. 🔥

Maybe the lads were buzzing a little too much because we stepped off it slightly, allowing Bingley to go up the other end and nick one back in the 43rd minute.

⏸️ HALF TIME: BRADFORD ALBION 2–1 BINGLEY ATHLETIC

The lads could be proud of that first-half performance. Everyone had worked their socks off, the football had been excellent and, in truth, the only thing missing was the finishing.

We created more than enough opportunities to have the game wrapped up by half-time, but we just couldn't convert enough of them.

The second half kicked off and, for the first 10–15 minutes, we weren't quite at the same level.

But the lads switched back on, dug deep and started pushing forward again. 💪

The game became a little more back and forth, with one of our best opportunities falling to Donrique Davis.

Donrique had been like a magician with the ball at his feet all night, dancing his way into a brilliant position before finding himself about five yards from goal...
..only to somehow blast it over the crossbar. 😂🚀

One we're sure he won't be allowed to forget anytime soon!

But Donrique kept going, kept working and soon made up for it in the best possible way.

With around 15 minutes left to play, Toby delivered a free kick straight into the danger area and Donrique Davis was there to smash it home! 💥⚽

From five yards over the bar to getting himself on the scoresheet — redemption! 😂👏

⚽ Bradford Albion 3–1 Bingley | DONRIQUE DAVIS

Albion now had some breathing room, but we weren't finished.

With around five minutes remaining, Josh Raynor played a beautiful ball into Kallum Towey, who had made another tireless run just to the right of goal.

Towey smashed the ball towards goal, it took a deflection off a defender and fell perfectly for Toby Trotter.

Toby didn't need asking twice.

BANG. Back of the net. Game over. 💥

⚽ Bradford Albion 4–1 Bingley | TOBY TROTTER

🏁 FULL TIME: BRADFORD ALBION 4–1 BINGLEY ATHLETIC

And as convincing as 4–1 looks, the scoreline could have been much bigger.

The amount of chances we created was one of the biggest positives to take from the game. On another day, if we'd been more clinical in front of goal, this could easily have been a double-figure scoreline. 🎯

That's something for us to work on going forward — keep creating chances at that rate, sharpen up the finishing and teams are going to find it very difficult to deal with us.

Another brilliant performance from the whole squad. Everyone played their part, worked for each other and showed exactly the sort of team spirit we want to see this season.

A massive shoutout to the back line, who put in a really solid performance throughout. 👏🧱

🧤 Callum Byron produced some big, big saves when called upon and played his part in making sure we stayed in control.

🏃 Kallum Towey deserves a special mention as well. Non-stop running all game and never stopped working for the team — a true engine. 🔋👏

⚽🔥 NEXT UP | THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 🔥⚽

After kicking off the 2026/27 season with a brilliant 5–1 win over Bridge Tavern, Bradford Albion are back in action this Thursday as we take on Bingley Athletic. 🔴🟡

🏆 BRADFORD ALBION FC vs BINGLEY ATHLETIC
📅 Thursday 20th August 2026

It's another familiar opponent for the Albion after facing Bingley Athletic during pre-season and coming away with the win.

But just like Sunday — pre-season results mean nothing when the points are on the line. 👊

We got the start we wanted with three points in our opening game. Now the aim is simple:

BACK IT UP. GET ANOTHER WIN. MAKE IT 6 POINTS FROM 2 GAMES. 🔥

We know it won't be easy, and Bingley will be looking to put things right after the pre-season meeting, but the lads will be ready to go again and fight for another three points.

GAME 2️⃣
3 POINTS ALREADY ✅
3 MORE UP FOR GRABS 🎯
6 FROM 6 THE TARGET 🔥

WHAT A WAY TO START THE 2026/27 SEASON! 🔥

The Albion get the new campaign underway with a massive 5–1 victory and our first three points of the season on the board. 💪⚽

We faced Bridge Tavern during pre-season and came away with a win, but we knew today would be completely different.

Pre-season is pre-season — this was the one that mattered.

Points were on the line, the new season had officially begun, and the lads stepped up when it counted. 👏

A strong team performance from start to finish, with five different players getting on the scoresheet:

⚽ Mason Casey
⚽ David Paul
⚽ Donrique Davis
⚽ Toby Trotter
⚽ Liam Harrison

Five goals. Five different scorers. Three points. ✅
