Football

The club has been established for over 100 years, and is well-known in the local area for its excellent facilities, and friendly but competitive welcome to the opposing teams. The club firmly believes in the encouragement of youngsters through Easingwold FC and the Corinthians FC who have organised games for different age groups. There are two senior teams who play in the York and District League. There is an excellent ground with changing rooms and showers; and for the home games we can discuss what went right or wrong in the club bar.
