Welcome

Welcome to Ripon City Football Club. Here you will be able to follow the progress of all things concerning Ripon City FC. We have been established since 1898 and we are a genuine grass roots community club.

Our first team play in the West Yorkshire Premier Division whilst our reserve team hone their skills in the West Yorkshire Alliance One Division. Our Sunday team play in Claro League Division One and, on the occasional Sunday afternoon, Ripon Veterans will grace the pitch before retiring to the clubhouse for drinks and chip butties!

We are a very friendly club run for the benefit of the community who enjoy football and all that goes with it.

However we are not without ambition and are currently seeking to relocate to much larger premises which we see us sell our present home at Mallorie Park. We hope to build a sports complex that will allow us to progress to a higher standard of football whilst providing excellent facilities which can be used by the local community.

Sue Dennison
Chairman
