Kirkstall youngsters’ appeal following stolen goalposts

Junior footballers in Kirkstall have launched a fundraising appeal after callous thieves stole their goalposts.

Thieves stole the metal goalposts stolen from Kirkstall Crusaders U13s’ pitch over a week ago and are hoping to raise £1,300 towards replacing them.

Coach Ryan Bennett said: “The lads are devastated by this and we had to borrow another pitch on Sunday to play.

“They are also in a title race to be division champions and switching pitches every week will not be ideal. We are currently trying to source some replacements, but buying new ones would be extremely difficult given the price. The team funds are raised in the summer by the lads and parents.”

One Kirkstall mum added on social media: “Come on Kirkstall, let’s get behind an awesome club that supports our children’s development in football and let’s help raise the money (and more if possible) that is needed to replace the goal posts. 

“Remember all coaching/management to do with the club is run by volunteers and the subs are minimal, so let’s give something back. I saw what we all did for Abbey House Museum, let’s see if we can do the same for Kirkstall Crusaders.”

The crowdfunder can be found here.
