Club history

Tony Walton, Chairman of both AWFC and AWJFC said: "This is a huge funding opportunity for both clubs. With plans for improvements both at The Marra Falcons Stadium and at Shaw Wood Field this money is invaluable revenue to make these enhancements a reality and to give us the chance to continue to bring grassroots football, both adult and youth, to the people in the village and beyond. I would urge as many supporters, local businesses and people of Armthorpe to join the 50:50 draw and support both clubs. You might even win yourself a few quid too !"
