BRADFORD City have had a gentle start in the West Riding Women's County Cup.

They received a bye in the first round, and will now not have to play their second round match.

The Bantams were due to host fellow Bradford side Queensbury Celtic this Sunday at Horsfall.

But sadly the Celts were forced to officially call the game off on Tuesday evening.

On Twitter, they posted: "Due to large numbers of injuries and unavailable players, we unfortunately will be withdrawing from the County Cup this season."

That means City automatically advance into the third round of the competition.

The Bantams reached the County Cup semi-finals last season, before losing in the last four to arch-rivals Leeds United.

Leeds were beaten by Brighouse Town in the final though, going down 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
