Harambee Stars left back Clarke Oduor featured for 65 minutes as Bradford returned to winning ways at the University of Bradford Stadium following a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Carlisle United on Saturday.Two goals from Andy Cook on either side of the break sealed the points for City, ending their two-match winless run.Oduor had a rather average afternoon that saw him win four ground duels out of the ten he contested while making one clearance.He was replaced in the 65th minute with Bobby Proton taking his place.##NAJAVA_MECA_8322365##Graham Alexander’s side made the perfect start to proceedings when, two minutes into the tie, Andy Cook gave them the lead.Jamie Walker’s high press led to him robbing Jon Mellish of possession on the edge of the penalty area.He surged through on goal and squared the ball to Cook, who made no mistake to notch his fourth goal of the season.Carlisle carried a threat of their own going forward. Sam Walker had to be alert to push Dominic Sadi’s effort away from the centre of the area before a fingertip stop to deny the visitors’ fierce effort from a distance.The visitors were not to be kept out for much longer, however, and drew level just before the hour mark.Harrison Neal’s header from a corner looked to have been held by Sam Walker, but the ball slipped through his grasp and fell into the back of the net.The Bantams did manage to break through for a second time with 20 minutes to go, with Cook bagging his second of the game, fifth of the season and 75th in claret and amber.Why Kempes is challenging FKF Electoral Code at CASAlexander expressed his delight following the Bantam’s victory as he praised his team for edging out a tight game and finding a way to take all three points.“We were really good in the first half. We played brilliant and effective football. To be honest, we really should have scored the second goal in the first period.“Carlisle are a good team with good players, but we were not as strong in possession during the second half, and we allowed a fluke goal.“But we did well follow on from it, and it galvanized us to kickstart back into form. From then on, we were impressed again. It was a great ball from Tyreik Wright and, of course, a great finish from Andy Cooky to win it.”The win left Bradford fifth on the log with 10 points from five matches, having won three and stumbled twice.Kenyan coach bags first title in South SudanWilson Features in New Saints win Stars trialist Adam Wilson was a second-half substitute as The New Saints maintained their 100% start to the JD Cymru Premier season with a 1-0 victory on the road against Haverfordwest County.Wilson came on in the 66th minute, taking over Rory Holden’s place.Adrian Cieslewicz scored the game’s only goal with 21 minutes on the clock.The three points on the road at Richmond Park maintained The Saints’ 100% start to the JD Cymru Premier season and also saw the defending champions record their 28th consecutive victory in the league.Craig Harrison’s side will have the chance to extend that streak further at Park Hall next weekend when Barry Town United make the trip to Oswestry on Saturday.##NAJAVA_MECA_8318202##Meja suffers defeat in Sweden Former Tusker striker Henry Meja played 88 minutes but could not help his side AFC Eskilstuna avoid defeat as they went down 2-0 against United IK Nordic in a Swedish third-tier match staged on Saturday evening.Antonio Yakoub brace was all Nordic needed to silence Eskilstuna.The defeat left the club 12th on the 16-team table with 19 points from 21 games, two points off the drop zone.
