FOOTBAL MATCHES
For 2010-2011 the U8's again play in the Harrogate & Wharfedale Friendly Junior Football League. Playing scheduled 7 a side matches against other local clubs. Culminating in the H&WFJFL Gala day, this year to be hosted by Knaresboror Celtic, as a celebration of the season. It is our intention to register again with the H&WFJFL for the 2011-2012 season. H&WFJFL Matches finish in April with the U8s having had 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 do arrange occasional 'friendly' games with other clubs throughout the season, for the younger element.
