Senior Section Chairman, Dave Ransley thanked the Parish Council for their generous gesture of providing full kits for the three open age senior teams which proudly carries the Parish Council name to fixtures across West Yorkshire.

The Junior Section Chairman, Ian Forbes, who accepted full kits for the newly formed under 11 and under 13 girl’s teams said: “We now have a junior section with two dozen teams playing under the Ryburn United banner.

“Our future plans involve working closely with the Ripponden community and the support from the Council is an important part of our strategy.”

This year the Parish Council Chairman’s Charity fund raising will be donated to youth groups in the Parish as part of its inclusion policies involving all generations of citizens in this beautiful area of the Pennines.
