Hall Road Rangers
After a turbulent few years, the future looks bright for Hall Road. Their new home Haworth Park is getting better day-by-day and is becoming a hub of the community. Now with new manager Dave Ricardo in place, Hall Road are looking for a huge improvement on-the-pitch.

Dave Ricardo
Hall Road Rangers manager Dave Ricardo
The former Bridlington and Hall Road player is well thought of in East Yorkshire. Although his reign at Selby Town ended earlier than he had hoped, his managerial record in the Hull area is formidable. His Beverley Town team won the Humber Premier League two years on the spin and failed to lose to game. He’s made some good signings this summer and Hall Road should be looking to do well.

One to Watch
Scott Phillips
No wonder he’s smiling: Hall Road Rangers manager Dave Ricardo signed Scott Phillips this summer
Phillips, the former Barton predatory striker, needs no introduction. Scoring 30 goals this season should be the minimum aim for him this season.
