Words by Gabby Nusenbaum Ladies Adel 3s met on an almost tropical late afternoon to face local team Horsforth Ladies 1s, with Adel having a very strong squad of 14 eager players. Adel had played at Horsforth earlier in the season and had finished with a frustrating 0-0, therefore Adel were ready to step out in force. The saying of ‘you may have to fight a battle more than once to win it,’ rang Read more
Words by Paul Lewis Leeds Adel HC 4:1 Airedale HC You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets – Arnold Schwarzenegger (also Jimmy Mayhew on a regular basis) Adel Men’s 1st XI sent a strong message out to the rest of Yorkshire Division 1 on Saturday afternoon with a ruthless and disciplined performance against fellow title challengers Airedale.

Leeds Adel Ladies 1s, met early on Saturday morning looking to bounce back from last week’s disappointing result.

Match report courtesy of the captain this week! 11am everyone met promptly as the captain had requested. 11.10 everyone got into the changing rooms as Captain Jones ignored her own request and rocked up late, sorry!
