The newly appointed manager at Glasshoughton Welfare, Graham Hodder, is calling his first meeting of players this week.

It'll take place on Thursday (21st) evening at The Welfare Ground on Leeds Road at 7pm.

All players, new or previous, who are interested in playing with the club for season 2012-13 are invited to attend.

In preparation for Welfare's return to the Baris NCEL Premier Division, four friendlies have so far been scheduled in July.

They start at home to Wakefield (10th) before a trip to Grimsby Borough (21st), a home clash with Baris NCEL new boys Knaresborough Town (24th) and an away game at Hemsworth Miners Welfare (28th).
