Mexborough Town Club Next Season

Next season, after a lapse of four years, Mexborough will have its own football club, run under the title of Mexborough Town.

The club will take over the fixtures of Barnsley “A” in the Yorkshire League, the whole of the Barnsley “A” team players will be transferred to Mexborough Town, and the club will be administered by a local committee.

This season Barnsley “A” have operated on the Mexborough ground. The club, it is understood, will be maintained under a financial arrangement with Barnsley, and the Oakwell club will have first claim on the players
