FOOTBAL MATCHES

For 2009-2010 the U8's again played in the Harrogate & Wharfedale Junior Friendly League. Playing regular 7 a side matches against other local clubs. Culminating in the H&WJFL Gala day, hosted by Otley town, as a celebration of the season.  It is our intention to register again with the H&WJFL for the 2010-2011 season. H&WJFL Matches finished in April with the U8s having a much better season this year. 

All our home matches are played at the Harrogate Hydro. Normally on a Sunday morning 10am KO.

However, as only U7's & U8's can play in League games, we arrange occasional 'friendly' games with other clubs throughout the season, for the younger element.
