Albion Sports are anxiously waiting to see if their record-breaking striker Taj Singh will be fit for the biggest game in their history tomorrow.

Singh injured his groin two weeks ago and will undergo a late fitness test before the FA Sunday Cup semi-final against Birmingham side Grosvenor Sport at The Shay, Halifax.

Manager Kulwinder Singh is keeping his fingers crossed that the Bradford Sunday Alliance League's most prolific marksman will make it.

He said: "Taj has been resting the injury and we just hope he can play. This is a massive match for us and we really could do with him."

Albion are already without unavailable centre back Floyd Peltier and have an injury doubt over Paul Forrest. Singh admits he will also face an anxious few hours tonight waiting by his phone for news of Paul Ryan and Pavan Singh who are both in action for Harrogate Town.

Albion are bidding to create a piece of Bradford soccer history as no local side has made it to the final although Ventus and Oakenshaw have both reached the last four.

"We want to win for Bradford," said Kulwinder Singh. "We are proud to represent the City and would love to be the first side to carry Bradford's name into the final."

Grosvenor Park are from the same Birmingham league as Albion's quarter-final victims Edwards Celtic and defeated them 4-1 just seven days after Albion had battled to a 1-0 win at Sutton Coldfield.

There is still the prospect of the competition producing an all-Yorkshire final as Hull side Prestige Brighams meet the Luton outfit St Joseph's who were lucky to defeat Bradford's Bolton Woods in an earlier round.

Albion (from): John Hawkes, Nigel Beck, Ifhfaq Hussain, Richard Clarke, Inderjit Basra, Amjad Iqbal, Tariq Hussain, Harmit Singh, Jason Ryan, Paul Forrest, Taj Singh, Vinnie Archer, Pavan Singh, Harnek Singh, Ian Grant, Subtan Nazir, Karl Linnighan.

In the Bradford Sunday Alliance, Calver-ley Victoria are making a determined late bid for the First Division title

Standing in their way tomorrow are Fairweather Green whose 11-match undefeated run has made them clear leaders for the first time.

Wins in their last two games will guarantee them promotion, while the other main contenders Craven Heifer can't afford to slip up in their game against Wrose Bull. Heifer have to bounce back from last week's 5-0 Senior Cup defeat by Albion.
