THE junior section of Otley Rugby Club - the Zebras - have won the the Yorkshire Cup.

After beating Harrogate 27 – 7 in the semi-final of the Yorkshire Cup, Otley U14’s reached the final and went on to beat Beverly 25 - 3.

Otley’s Zebra's Chairman Andrew Johnson described the team as "a suberb set of lads, that are a credit to their coaches, their club, their parents and Otley as a town".

The Zebra’s also held an end of season celebration and prize giving event. The different age groups, ranging from U6’s to U16’s were awarded with medals for their participation and individuals who stood out received special recognition, along with the coaching teams. Covid has been challenging for the Zebra’s but organisers said the event showcased how well everyone had coped.
