That festival will take place on Saturday, September 10, and this trial, at York Acorn ARLC, from 6pm to 7.30pm, precedes four training sessions for the squad, starting on Wednesday, August 17, 6pm to 7.30pm, also at Acorn.

All North Yorkshire players born between January 1, 1993, and 31 August, 1995, are invited.
