DEPARTING York Acorn head coach Dave Kay will be taking charge of the representative York Ironsides team to take part in the York International 9s at Heworth on June 4-5.

The plan is to take players from each York club. Said Kay: "It will be quite a quick process to see who wants to play and who's available. We'll probably whittle the squad down to the maximum 12 players in the final week."
