Busy pre-season programme for Wharfedale

10:27am Thursday 7th June 2012 in Wharfedale By Bill Marshall

Wharfedale have arranged a busy pre-season programme before kicking off their National League One campaign with a trip to Richmond on September 1.

The first warm-up game is at home to Stirling County on August 11.

They have just enjoyed a successful season in Premier A – the level immediately below the two professional divisions – finishing in fourth place.

They are popular visitors and will provide Wharfedale with a strong test.

Then on Saturday, August 18 Wharfedale head for Edinburgh to take part in a round-robin tournament at Boroughmuir.

The final warm-up game is against old rivals Stourbridge at The Avenue on August 25.

The visitors were relegated from National League One last season.

Interspersed among these will be two midweek fixtures against traditional rivals Kendal and North Ribbles- dale, which will give squad players the opportunity to impress the selectors.

Pre-season training starts on Tuesday, July 3 at 6:45pm.

Any new players interested in joining in should contact head coach Tom McGee at tommyrmcgee@hotmail.com The annual meeting takes place tonight in the clubhouse at 7.30pm.
