Title winning boss Ricardo’s back in the game

Toolstation NCEL Division One 

Dave Ricardo has joined Leon Sewell’s coaching staff at Hall Road Rangers

Leon Sewell has added 2017 title-winning boss Dave Ricardo to his Hall Road Rangers coaching staff.

The appointment ends Ricardo’s two-year absence from the game which began after he left Barton Town in September 2019.

Ricardo, who has also managed Selby Town and Beverley Town to varying levels of success, is best remembered for achievements with Hall Road.

He led them to the Division One title on the enthralling final day of the 2016/17 season.

That title race is rated as one of, if not the greatest in NCEL history due to the closeness of Hall Road, Pontefract Collieries and Emley.

Although he had success last time at Haworth Park, it is hoped Ricardo will learn the lessons of where it went wrong last time – i.e packing a second white shirt on trips down the motorway, and clear travel arrangements to ensure not being left behind at away matches!

Ricardo is set to be at Sewell and Chris Burke’s side when Hall Road travel to Nostell this afternoon.
