league football , the Club is delighted with the response from the local community.

Special thanks goes to the sponsors who have assisted us in providing new playing kit for ALL ages , along with other
items such as training bibs, balls ,cones , water bottles , nets , corner flags etc.
The Club is also delighted to unite with Skelmanthorpe Sols's , not only providing the club with an excellent U14 team
, but putting the UNITED in Skelmanthorpe as a village
The Club is also Proud to confirm a sporting agreement with Skelmanthorpe Seniors , as a route to provide junior players
a way forward into open age football under the watchful eye of Junior development officer Dave Roberts.Though financially
seperate clubs the benefits are obvious to all.
