It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Eddie Sessford, a valued and hard working member of the Silsden Sports Club and Silsden AFC family.

Eddie has been involved with the club for many years, right up until his last days.

Our thoughts go out to Irene and his family during this difficult time.

We will come together for a minutes silence before Tuesday’s game with Barton, with further information regarding a lasting memorial in due course.
