As has been the case with many clubs across the region, our under 16s have lost a number of players over the summer break. Whilst still a close-knit team with some strong talent, the players and coaches combined to propose a way forward to ensure we maintain a competitive playing squad for the forthcoming season.
Building on our strong relationship with our neighbours at Rotherham Phoenix and a successful pre-season game at Wortfest, both clubs have agreed to field a combined squad for the 2024-25 playing calendar.
This arrangement ensures the players receive the best coaching available twice a week, as well as the ability to field strong squads across all our fixtures, including the Yorkshire Age-grade Cup.
The team will play alternate home fixtures at Finkle Steet Lane and Herringthorpe Playing Fields on Sunday mornings and train under the floodlights at Herringthorpe as well as occasional weekend training at Wortley.
