Rec stalwart Pete Goodlad presented Athersley captain Ryan White with a number of gifts to commemorate more than 1000 games for the club
The long-awaited Ryan White day went completely to plan as Athersley Rec ran out 2-0 winners against strugglers Parkgate.
The Rec have been waiting for over a month to celebrate White’s 1000 appearances for them as postponements have stopped them.
So when Parkgate visited, Rec stalwart Pete Goodlad was able to present White and his family with several gifts to commemorate the occasion.
On the field, the Rec made sure it was a day to remember as Jack Briscoe and Kai Hancock scored to keep their side on course for a superb top half finish.
The Rec have also installed a permanent banner to celebrate Ryan White’s achievements
