15 May HUDDERSFIELD vs TITLE HOLDERS

This coming Friday, 17 May, Huddersfield face their first stiff task of the 2024 campaign against Leeds who surprised everyone in 2023 coming from nowhere to win the title.

The away team play at Harehills Park, directions below, and the team is:

T. Butterfield, A. Cooper, D Hewitt, P Hopkinson, D Pollard,T Poulter, G Senior and R. Stopford. Reserve Edwin Haigh (captain). Manager Alan Sharpe.

Venue: Harehills Park, York Road, turn up Harehills Lane at lights, Shaftsbury Pub turn right at second pelican crossing lights, Coldcoats Avenue – Park on right. LS9 6NE.

The home team are once again at Meltham SSC and is A. Bamforth, J. Bloomer, A. Carter, T. Cross, A. Daykin, S. Haigh, R. Whitwam, A. Wike. Reserves P. Kain and R. Dickinson. Non-playing captain Frank Greenwood. Manager David Armitage.

Our first match was played in cold conditions on a green favouring the opposition and was sparsely attended. We need as much support as possible around the green from 1pm urging our team to greater efforts against a very strong Leeds away team. There isn’t any Huddersfield sporting team that doesn’t relish a win against Leeds!
