5th Harrogate JGFL Gala at Harrogate Town FC

On another busy weekend for the club our girls development squad turned out 2 teams in the Harrogate JGFL 5th gala at Harrogate Town FC on what turned out to be a much better morning weather wise than was expected.

Again it was another well attended gala proving that there is a huge appetite for girls football in the Harrogate and District area and the gala's are a great way for girls to get involved for the first time in a none pressurised enviroment.

It is a fantastic way of growing the girls game with players just being able to turn up and get a game with any team short of players as opposed to teams having to cancel 'matches' due to not having full squads on the set dates.

These galas have been a huge success and a massive thanks must go to Mike Collier who has spent so much time organising and campaigning clubs to get involved and I think all who have attended are hugely grateful to him for all his hard work.
Also thanks must go to Ged Maloney at Harrogate Town for help in working along side Mike to make sure the girls get a fanatstic venue and surface for the girls to play football.


GO SCORCHERS!
