Sunday marked a return to a full three-hour coaching block, and with the weather outside once again doing its best to disrupt plans, unsettled skies and dropping temperatures, the warmth and shelter of the indoor court was more than welcome. Even more welcome, though, was the outstanding commitment shown by the academy girls throughout the […]

After the disappointment of narrowly losing their previous fixture, Bootham Ladies made the long trip south to London to face Maidenhead for the first time in National League Tier 2.

The U13s completed their Winter League campaign with two final fixtures in Batley. Once again, with no goalkeeper available, the team relied on the goodwill and bravery of outfield players to step into the role. After several tightly contested matches throughout the season, many decided by a single goal, the squad were determined to finish […]

Happy New Year to everyone! We hope you all had a fantastic futsal-filled Christmas and a brilliant start to 2026. As the weather takes a turn for the colder, grassroots football matches are being called off left, right, and centre due to frozen pitches, but luckily for us, that’s never a problem!
