Morning Leeds-in for 15 May: Ossett United officially announces July friendly against Leeds

After saying something on BBC Radio Leeds about a friendly, Ossett United have officially announced that they will play Leeds United in a pre-season friendly on 21 July.

The announcement doesn’t come as a surprise, as the friendly was already talked about on BBC Radio Leeds. However, other summer plans have yet to be announced, with plenty of rumours floating about on social media.

Here’s hoping that preseason planning a little less last-minute than it was last year.
