The York City and District Football Association arrange and manage grassroots FA Cup competitions for all boys, youth and girls competitive age groups, ranging from under-12’s to under-19’s.
With the support of the York City Foundation and the City of York Council, the York City and District Football Association have confirmed that two finals will be held on Thursday, May 29 at the LNER Community Stadium.
A match between Scalby Juniors (Scarborough) under-15’s against Rawcliffe Raiders under-15’s will be held, before Wigginton Grasshoppers under-16’s take on Thorpe United under-16’s in two cup finals.
The occasion at the LNER Community Stadium will be in support of junior football, which will give young footballers the opportunity to play in a professional sports stadium, as well as offer the opportunity to developing match officials to enjoy the occasion.
York City Foundation have also acquired a stadium announcer during the game, adding that touch of professionalism to the event.
The under-15’s youth competition, being contested between Scalby Juniors and Rawcliffe Raiders this year, is formally known as the intermediate minor cup, and was first won in 1947 by Cliftonville.
The York City and District Football Association are now encouraging the wider York community to attend the evening and show their support to local teams and to the York FA, hoping to create special memories for all involved.
Tickets can be purchased at the York City Foundation Office on Tuesday, May 27 to Thursday, May 29 between 10am and 4pm.
Tickets will also be available outside of the ground on the Thursday with the gates opening at 5.30pm.
Admission is £3 for those aged 11 and under, who must also be accompanied by an adult. Standard price is £5, with cash and card accepted.
