Match Preview

This weekend Aireborough Crusaders will field a good-looking squad (both in the playing and aesthetic sense) to face Keighley Academy in the first Merit Table game of the season. With these two teams sharing the spoils with a W a piece in this fixture last year, the Crusaders will look to start their campaign strongly at home in what is expected be a competitive match at Fortress Nunroyd. These good looks are likely to be further enhanced when the side run out in their stylish new kit courtesy of generous sponsors Engage Management, Flaming Grill (The Generous Pioneer, Burley-in-Wharfedale) and the Crusader’s own Si Wilson’s Global Retail Group- details of all these high-quality outfits listed below.

Crusaders Captain James Underwood had the following comment:
“I am gutted not to have the chance to run out with the boys this weekend. We have an incredible looking squad and the opportunity to do our smart new Crusaders shirt proud- thanks again to all our sponsors. However, I leave the team in the very capable hands of my Vice Captain Iain Craven, Pack Leader Jonny Hanson and the newest member of our leadership group, club stalwart and legendary panto writer/director/impresario Ian ‘Clogger’ Claughton who is assisting in a managerial role this year. With exciting return of James Greenwood, several electrifying debutants and the near mythical figure of Tony Exley I am expecting winning beers on Saturday evening.”
