It has now been three years since the big defender's passing, and we hope to honour his memory, and everyone else connected with the football club who has very sadly passed away.

We hope to see you all at Inglewhite Road for what is shaping up to be a very competitive tournament.

Here's hoping the Ridge can take home this year's edition!
