National Conference League division two club Heworth ARLC kick off their pre-season friendlies with a game against division one side Milford Marlins on Saturday. Kick-off at Elmpark Way is 2.30pm.

The Villagers' new coaching duo of Alfie Hill and Kevin Fellows want all players to make themselves available for this game, which will hopefully set the scene for a successful season, beginning with a home game against Ince Rose Bridge on Saturday, September 4.
