THE NORTHERN Premier League chairman Mark Harris has sent a March report to all member clubs and in that he gave them a start date for the 2021-22 season of Saturday, August 14. The season will end at the end of April with the play-offs although there will be leeway to the end of May should there be any closures during the campaign.
All the League’s partners have remained in place for the new season and the chairman hopes member clubs can offer them some support in the months ahead. Match ball suppliers Chryso are donating 20 balls to each club.
Town’s manager Vill Powell has arranged his first pre-season friendly for Saturday, July 17 with League Division 2 club Harrogate Town. Talks are already ongoing with the club’s major sponsor Quickslide to sponsor the game and have a family day out for company employees and their families on the spacious Yorkshire Payments Stadium acres.
Three people shared the £1,000 first prize in the club’s annual Football Bingo competition that was carried over into the curtailed season from the 2019-20 season. They were: 19: Karen Stewart (sold by Andy Stewart), 35: Judith Dyson (sold by Maurice Dyson), 156 Dave Kerry (sold by Mick Dunk) who had four times from the five the outright winner would have had.
People with 3/5 where: Ken Kirby, Karen Stewart (2nd entry), Jason Rawson (Chesterfield player who had been on loan),
Darren Whiteley, Ellis Aked, Janet Almond, Graeme Dixon, Hugh Dean, Mark Osborne, player Harrison Beeden x2),
Matthew Booth, C. Lawrence, Dawn Armitage, Daniel Inniss, D. Pearson, Emily Anderson, Dave Wormald, Darren Briggs, C. Wood.
This now gives the club a clean edge to commence the Football Bingo for the season ahead at a date yet to be announced.
