Sporting Events in Yorkshire this August and September
Cricket, football, horse racing and rugby league events in Yorkshire over the next couple of months
The high jinx of last season at the top and foot of the various tables had Yorkshire clubs in the thick of it. As we write, the sheet is clean and the optimism of the fans will be palpable… but how long will it last? As ever, signings and comings and goings at all levels will prove significant. Leeds United will hope for a better season and Huddersfield will also be looking for another strong showing after coming so close. Other teams from across Yorkshire will also be looking for that crucial early season form. These are a selection of stand-out fixtures to savour.

As August comes so does the Ebor Festival, surely one of the greatest racing events in the calendar. It’s packed with excellence from start to finish and the social occasion is second to none too. Not to be outdone, Doncaster host the last Classic of the season at The St Leger Meeting, where more great sport and fun awaits. Scattered within these fixtures are a number of fun days to put in your diary; watch out for family days where under 18s can go racing free. These are just a few suggestions from a packed calendar.
