An “international” team is being created to play against other regions across the world with the Yorkshire IFA looking to put a side together with the aim of playing in the CONIFA Official Euros and World Cup.

Former Horbury Town manager Michael Long has been appointed as team coach with Ryan Farrell, who played for Ossett Albion earlier this season, the head coach.

There has been plenty of interest in the trials day from strong contenders, but organisers have emphasised that you do not have to be a professional or semi-pro to attend.

Amateur players with a bit of skill, lots of heart and a love for their Yorkshire heritage are more than welcome.
