An exciting third fixture for the Senior League team saw a short trip to Thornes Park, Wakefield.

A real team performance all around by the team (including officials), creating a great atmosphere for one and other, leading us to a consecutive victory for the team.

One fixture to go for the team at the end of August!

YDL Review 2026
2026 saw our return to the Youth Development League (YDL), after a few years away from the league.

Our Lower Age Group team (Under 14’s & Under 16’s) rejoined in the North East 1 Division. The league consisted of City of Sheffield, Doncaster, Leeds City, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Spenborough and Wakefield.

Fixture 1 saw the team travel to Rotherham for the first fixture where 23 athletes competed for the club across both age groups which was a fantastic improvement from our last outing in the league. It was a sixth place finish on the day for team Spen.

It was a home fixture for the second Fixture, as the Princess Mary Stadium hosted the traveling teams. The home crowed cheered the Spenborough athletes throughout the fixture as the team ended in a joint forth position.

A short away trip to the John Charles Stadium in Leeds welcomed the third fixture for the Lower Age Group teams. It was another sixth place finish for Team Spen but enough to climb one place in the league standings.

Fixture 4 saw us back on the road, traveling to Doncaster, to wrap us the season. During the school holidays, athlete numbers were down but the performance from the team was still fantastic. Leading us to an expected fifth or sixth place finish in the table, final results pending.

Upper Age Group
Our Upper Age Group team (Under 18’s & Under 20’s) were thrown in the deep end straight into the North Premier East Division joining the teams of City of Sheffield, City of York, Doncaster & Chesterfield, Gateshead Harriers, Kingston Upon Hull, Leeds City and South Yorkshire Dons.

With a clash of fixtures for the first fixture in the season, it was an away trip to Doncaster to get things kicked off. In a very competitive first fixture Team Spen finished in seventh place.

Fixture 2 was a trip North to York where we finished one place higher on the day to finish in sixth place and lift us into sixth in the league standings.

The third and final fixture for the Upper Age Group was yet again a clash of fixtures, limiting our numbers on the trip across to Kingston upon Hull. Though depleted in numbers it was another sixth place finish on the day and secure a sixth place finish overall in the league.

Well Done to all Spenborough AC athletes involved across both teams, establishing an impressive first season back within the league.

Thanks go to Team Managers Gavin and Lee and all the Track & Field Officials and helpers within the club who helped out across all the fixtures.

July brought an end to the season for the YDL Upper team as their final fixture saw them travel across to Hull, venue for the third fixtures of the North East Premier division.

The 2026 season saw our return to the YDL after a few years away and the team hit the ground running with fantastic performances on both the track and in the field.

Being put into the Premier division against teams much larger than ours was never going to be an easy task but the team gave it their all and finished 6th out of 8!

YDL Lower
July also saw a busy weekend just gone for the teams as the YDL Lower team who ventured on a not so far away trip to the John Charles Stadium in Leeds for the third fixture of the North East Division 1.

The start of the school holidays hindered the size of the team, but once again a great effort by all team members. Which saw us joint on league points with Doncaster in fifth place in the division.
The YDL Lower Team has one more fixture remaining on the 1st August as we travel to Doncaster.

Senior League
On Sunday it was the senior leagues turn to get back into the action after having a bye week in June. An unexpected start to the season saw us joint top after the first fixture at Hull.

This time it was a home fixture, and we meant business on home soil. After a hard fought fixture, we finished in first place on the day with second place close behind. But a first place finish helped us extend our lead at the top of the table.

The Senior team have two not so away fixtures in August both at Wakefield on the 8th and 30th of August.

Well done to athletes involved across all the team fixtures, the attached photo of our YDL Upper team in Hull drawing a close to their season.
