Campion AFC return to action this weekend as they host Parkgate FC in what promises to be another important NCEL Premier Division fixture at the Anytime Couriers Stadium.

After a challenging run of results, Campion will be desperate to secure three points and get their season back on track. Despite being just four points clear of the relegation zone, the Reds have games in hand on the teams below them and will see this as a crucial opportunity to climb the table.

Last weekend saw Campion fall to a 4-1 defeat away at league leaders Liversedge, a result that didn’t reflect the effort and commitment of the players against one of the division’s most formidable sides. Prior to that, the team produced a spirited display in a 2-2 draw at Sheffield FC, showing real resilience to come from two goals down — a performance that highlighted the character within the squad.

Saturday’s visitors Parkgate FC make the trip to Bradford sitting eighth in the table with 24 points from 18 games, and they’ll arrive full of confidence after a thrilling 5-4 victory over Golcar United last weekend — their first win in five matches. There’s no doubt that Parkgate carry plenty of attacking threat, and Campion will need to be switched on defensively from the first whistle.

The hosts will be boosted by the availability of new signing Sonny Whittingham, a highly-rated midfielder who joins from Emley. Whittingham, who has also represented Hyde United and Bradford Park Avenue, brings valuable experience, energy, and technical quality to Lee Ashforth’s side and could play a key role in turning Campion’s fortunes around.

With both teams eager to kick-start a consistent run of form, this fixture has all the ingredients for an entertaining afternoon of football at the Anytime Couriers Stadium. Campion will be hoping that home advantage, together with the support of their loyal fans, can help deliver the victory they so badly need.
