Football.

Kirkby Malzeard Football Club was re-formed in 1971 when it entered the Harrogate & District League, originally in the fourth division at the time. Since then the Club has experienced lots of ups and downs, and has been struggling during the 2007-08 season, but is now hopefully getting back on an even keel.

The club would like to attract more local interest with regard to playing, supporting and helping in the running of the club. We are always in need of sponsorship and we are in urgent need of some off the field help as a lot of time and dedication is required. Local support on match days is much appreciated. Why not have a walk down one Saturday afternoon as it boosts players' morale to play in front of a large number of spectators. You might even enjoy it!

Snooker & Billiards.

There are two full sized quality tables in the dedicated room at the Mechanics Institute Village Hall in Kirkby Malzeard. One table was re-covered and the other table cover was re-stretched in Summer 2005.

This dedicated room had in the months of December 2003 and January 2004 a face lift in the way of a false ceiling and the table lighting being replaced by canopies. The work was able to go ahead due to two Grants, totally £1,583.00, underpinning the overall cost.

Playing Members of the Billiards and Snooker Section are particularly delighted with their new look area. It is warmer, has better lighting, and is more welcoming.

Membership to the Billiards & Snooker Section of the Mechanics Institute is open to all those aged 16 and over, and the Annual Membership automatically includes Membership of the Mechanics Institute Village Hall. Access is available by membership key, and the facility is open seven days a week from 8.00 am to 10.00 pm for social play. Several players take advantage of being able to play throughout the day all year, and particularly during the winter months the tables are kept busy every day.

Snooker and Billiards are both played in the Markington & District Leagues during the winter. The Leagues have approximately 14 teams and extend from Middlesmoor to Masham.
