Hough Back at Denaby

Harry Hough returned to Tickhill Square this week again as manager of promotion chasing Denaby United

when Harry left 18 months ago Denaby were in the Midland league. Now in the Yorkshire league (division two) Denaby have been rebuilding their side under the able direction of Les Cowley, who has resigned because of pressure of work.

Harry, the former Barnsley goalkeeper, officially took over at Denaby on Tuesday week. On Saturday was at Tickhill Square watching his county Senior League reserve side play.

“I have no plans for the team yet, until I have seen them. Next week I will be watching the first team.” He told the “South Yorkshire Times” this week.

Wharncliffe Woodmore was Harry’s last club. Asked if he would play you said: “I do not know yet. I have a shoulder injury which will keep me out at least a month.”

It is understood that Harry won the job from a long list of applicants. “I am looking forward to being the manager of Denaby again. They have a hard-working committee there and we shall be all out for promotion.” He added

Harry runs a school for young players on Sundays. “I shall definitely carry on with that. We have about 50 or 60 youngsters coming up on Sundays, and enough to run three teams.”
