Burton Leonard vs Ripley

June 22nd, 2009

Ripley 139 all out
BLCC 142-3

On the back of five straight victories interrupted only by the weather, Burton Leonard’s 1st XI turned up to Peter Lane with an air of calm confidence.

2009 Great Yorkshire Bike Ride

June 15th, 2009

Team Royal Oak, Burton Leonard took part in the 2009 Great Yorkshire Bike Ride last Saturday and raised nearly £900 for charity. This is the 26th time the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride has been organised by the Wetherby Lions and last year raised almost £115,000 for worthy local charities.

The ride starts at Wetherby Race Course early in the morning and ends in Filey a total distance of about seventy five miles accross the Yorkshire countryside through the Howardian Hills to Malton and then onto Filey and usually attracts over 1500 entrants.
