Community Leagues Presentation Evening 🏆

Last month we hosted our first Community Leagues Presentation Evening at West Riding County FA.

It was the first time all of our Community League formats came together to celebrate the winners of each league and cup competition, recognising the fantastic achievements of clubs and teams across the season.

It was a fantastic evening, bringing together like-minded people from across our Community League network, with great food and plenty of good conversations too.

A huge congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate a fantastic season!
