Long time club sponsors Bede Financial Group and Yorkshire Raw Feeds, brothers John and James McVeigh, have joined together to give us a brand new Battler The Bulldog.

After many years service the old Battler is worn, damaged, and badly in need of a rest and a younger pup is perfect for matchdays and local appearances. He’ll be making his match debut on Good Friday against Dewsbury Rams, you may see him in the community before then with the Batley Sporting Foundation.

Once again a huge thank you to Bede Financial Group and Yorkshire Raw Feeds, we can’t wait for you to meet our new man!
