Two sports clubs in Knaresborough have announced a strategic partnership designed to benefit the wider community.
Knaresborough Town FC and Knaresborough Cricket Club announced the partnership in a statement today (November 3).
The statement said it will see the clubs share ideas, explore new opportunities and strengthen their respective organisations.
However, both clubs will retain their identities and sporting objectives.
Rob Northfield, joint managing director at Knaresborough Town, said the move would benefit the wider town.
He said:
Teaming up with Knaresborough Cricket Club is a fantastic opportunity for Knaresborough. We have two great sporting clubs with proud histories, strong community connections and ambitions to achieve even more.
We believe that by working together, sharing knowledge and supporting each other, we can create opportunities that benefit both clubs and the wider town. This is about more than cricket and football; it is about community, participation, creating opportunities and giving people something to be proud of.
We look forward to developing this relationship and exploring how we can make a real difference together.
Andrew Ward, chairman at Knaresborough Cricket Club, said the arrangement would help the clubs to explore opportunities to benefit the wider area.
He said:
This relationship with Knaresborough Town Football Club makes perfect sense for the town of Knaresborough. We both have ambitions to make our clubs stronger and to play a key role in the local community.
