CLUB MERGER

For the 2020/21 season Huntington Rovers, Heworth AFC and Huntington FC combined resources to play as Huntington Rovers Football club.  This will mean that Huntington Rovers Football Club will hopefully have a full compliment of junior teams in every age group of the York and District Youth Football League (u7s-U16’s.) With teams playing U19’s team as well as our open age woman’s team and the open age men’s and men’s reserves teams.

 

Our main objective is to give junior players from our local community a clear route into adult football. 

 

Along with this objective we also want the football club to be a hub for the local community. We are determined to get behind more local events than ever before and put Huntington Rovers at the forefront of the local community. 

 

We are fortunate to have use of 2 amazing facilities in the Sports and Social Club on North Lane and the Hopgrove playing fields on Malton Road and we aim to maximise the use of these facilities to benefit our community through football and social events. 

 

More information will be published in due course and we are planning on having a fun day at the sports club to formally announce the changes once restrictions are lifted,  but for now stay safe and football in Huntington will be back bigger and better then ever before as soon as it is possible. 

 

FUNDRAISING EVENTS

A number of fund raising events will be held to raise money for individual teams as well as the club as a whole.

 

Further events will be planned and updates will be provided via the Huntington Rovers facebook page here when known. Please check the facebook page https://m.facebook.com/Huntingtonroversfc/
