Last Saturday Leeds Adel Mens 1st XI took the trip to play Sheffield University Bankers. At this stage of the season the tables tend to stabilise and those on a promotion push start to pull clear as those that struggle look to make changes to style and teams that can survive the drop. As such Sheffield started very well, they were organised, looking to control the middle of the pitch and force Adel to make Read more…
A message from our Club President….. Mens 5s lost 2-0 against Chapeltown 4s, despite dominating throughout. Bad. Very bad.

However we have all agreed that this mere 50 mile drive down to M1 is nothing to be complained about when jetsetter Iain Mitchell managed to be up at the crack of Read more…
Just who are Adel’s biggest derby rival? I’ve heard many suggestions, from Leeds to Ramgharia, Harrogate to Horsforth???.
