Way Back in July this Year 9 intrepid cyclists representing Scotton Scorchers JFC set off from Leeds United football ground Elland Road along the Leeds Liverpool Canal to Liverpool FC Anfield stopping on the way at the following football clubs 

Burnley Football Club, Accrington Stanley Football Club, Blackburn Rovers Football Club, Chorley Football Club, Wigan Athletic Football Club, Burscough United, Everton Football Club, Liverpool Football Club a total of 9 clubs approx. 148 miles – 

The intrepid 9 were as follows; 

Keith Large (coach) 
Andy Black, (coach)
Peter Broomhead (coach)
Dave Lavelle (coach)
Matt Hobbah (coach)
Lee Peacock  (Parent)
Byron Spence (Parent) 
Chris Swales (sponsor)
Alan Swales (sponsor)

Charlie Raynor (support driver)

We were fortunate enough to get on some very nice premiership pitches and into all the grounds.
In doing so we were raising money for Scotton Scorchers New Pitch fund

All the money has now been collected in and I am very happy to say we have raised an
astonishing £2112.00

Well done to all the riders. It was hard work and very tiring but teamwork saw us through to the end.
