Selby set for 100th anniversary celebrations

The Class of 2019. Selby Town are celebrating 100 years of football

Selby Town will mark 100 years since their first ever match when Hall Road Rangers visit the Fairfax Plant Hire Stadium.

Selby’s first ever game took place on 20th September, 1919, and was an 8-0 defeat Rowntrees at their Haxby Road ground.

It is going to be a special day and the club are hoping to have a carnival atmosphere inside the ground.

Because of Christian Fox’s side swash-buckling style of play, crowds have gone up and up since his appointment, it is hoped Saturday will be the best one yet.

The Robins ironically face a team managed by a man who has his own dedicated place in Selby’s history books.

Leon Sewell is one of the shortest-serving manager sin the club’s history following his brief stint in the Richard Street dugout in 2011.
