West Riding County FA £2 FINAL v Tuesday 11th April 2017 At i2i Stadium Tadcaster - Kick Off 19.45 #TogetherWeAreFootball West Riding County FA #TogetherWeAreFootball About Us The West Riding County Football Association is the governing body of football in the county. We are one of the largest county football associations in the country and oversee all aspects of the game in our territory. We are responsible for providing the structure and support that enables our players, coaches, volunteers and referees to develop. Our utmost priority is that every participant in our county is given the opportunity to develop in a progressive and enjoyable environment. In addition to our governance responsibilities, we concentrate heavily on the development of the local game and maintain a strong emphasis on the evolution of players, coaches, volunteers and referees. By promoting “Football for all” we encourage participation across all sections of society, regardless of age, ability, race, religion or socio-economic status. By developing innovative programmes and cultivating opportunities in alignment with our governing body (The FA), we deliver the national game strategy in our county. We are also immensely proud of our thriving culture throughout the non-professional game, a sector widely referred to as “Grassroots” football. As a county we believe it essential to uphold our traditions and embrace the legacy of our past. However, we are very much a progressive County FA who are happy to celebrate our history without residing on it. Although the West Riding County Football Association has been the governing body of all association football in the County for over 100 years, today we are an energetic, innovative and ever changing organisation. We remain as passionate as ever about the success of football in the county. 2 West Riding County FA County Cup The West Riding County Cup is an annual football competition held between the clubs of the West Riding County Football Association which was first competed in 1927.
