A FANTASY Football League is thriving at Thirsk floodlit pitch and the latest winners were the Sowerby Scorchers, made up of players aged 11 to 14 from Thirsk School.
The Easter Cup League was won by the Canvey Island Juniors. This league was open to teams of children aged five to 16 years.
The leagues are operated by Thirsk swimming pool and organised and supervised by Frank Moane, a qualified FA referee.
Mr Moane is very proud of the nine enthusiastic teams who come along to practice and improve their game.
The league provides a safe environment for Thirsk youngsters to nurture a friendly and good-natured competitive spirit.
The pay and play football at the floodlit pitch is flourishing as a result of the popularity of the fantasy leagues. It is for anyone who is not a member of a regular team.
Girls and boys are welcome to come along and join in the fun on Friday afternoons from 5.30. Under-18s can pay £1 (£2.50 for adults) to play football all evening until 7.30.
For more details about the activities at the floodlit pitch, or to hire it for team games or training, contact Thirsk swimming pool on 01845 522447.
