TODAY we send best wishes to Hepworth United FC, our local village club, that has won back to back promotions since joining the Sheffield and Hallamshire County League (Level 11) three years ago.
Bob Wright manages a talented squad, drawn from the Holme Valley and his senior adult team will play their first match in the Premier Division against North Gawber Colliery from near Barnsley. This will be a tough and earthy initiation, but bet your life that Hepworth will give a good account of themselves.
Clubs such as Dodworth Miners Welfare, Grimethorpe Colliery and Wombwell Main FC will make up some of their opposition this season. Dodworth won the Division One title last season comfortably whereas Hepworth came third and were promoted.

The senior reserve team continue their campaign in the Huddersfield and District League having finished a respectable 5th last season, playing against first teams from the Huddersfield District.
Hoping to emulate their club's adult players are 17 junior sides ranging from U18 to U7 with U5/6s meeting weekly for fun football under the watchful eye of Russ Kaye.
Add to this lot a senior ladies' team, an U17 "girls" squad and hopefully this season an U12 squad. John Field is responsible for the strength and enthusiasm of ladies football at Hepworth. Hepworth "bats well above its average".
During this week the club hosted a Huddersfield Town FC Roadshow when 60 local children enjoyed fun football coached by Town's Community staff.
We wish all our teams the best of luck for the coming season, as they enjoy playing either at Far Lane, in front of the new clubhouse or on the road.
