Sherburn White Rose F.C.

Sherburn White Rose Football Club is a sports & social club based in Sherburn-in-Elmet, near Selby, in North Yorkshire, England.
History
After being disbanded for some years, Sherburn White Rose was reformed in 1960 and have played in the West Yorkshire League for more than half a century. The club benefited from a substantial grant from the football foundation in 2003 and used the funds to build a brand new club-house, encompassing a new bar, function room, kitchen and four modern changing rooms. In 2006 Sherburn White Rose regained their status in the Premier Division of the West Yorkshire League and in 2007 the club fielded three separate senior teams for the first time in the club's history. Sherburn White Rose FC was one of the first clubs in Yorkshire to be recognised as an F.A Charter Standard Club and signed up for the F.A Respect campaign in 2008. In 2009 the club successfully won both Barkston Ash District F.A senior competitions - the first time both cups have been won by SWRFC in the same season as well as winning the West Yorkshire League Cup for only the third time in their history.
In 2010 the club introduced an Under 18s team for the first time in its history. To date the club hosts a junior section that caters for players from U8s through to U18s, has three senior teams, a veterans team and is building for the future with girls and ladies sides, school and community links as well as disabled football links. The club is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary in the coming 2010/2011 season - a feat made more memorable by the fact that in 2010 SWRFC made Barkston Ash District FA history by being the first ever team to retain both senior competitions in the same season, being the first SWRFC side to ever retain the West Yorkshire League Cup and also finishing their highest ever league placing of Runners-Up in the West Yorkshire Premier Division.
Teams
The club caters for junior players between 6-18 as well as three senior teams. The first team play in the West Yorkshire Association League Premier Division, the reserves in the West Yorkshire Alliance Division 1, and the third team in the Selby & District Invitation League Division
