Stanley United joined the West Yorkshire League in 2000, winning the First Division title in 2015-16. Instead of taking promotion to the WYL Premier Division the following season, they switched to the Yorkshire Amateur League. The club’s highest finish so far was in 2017-18, when they were runners-up to champions Drighlington.
The club is based at the West Riding County FA Headquarters in the suburban village of Oulton in Leeds. The facility has a 3G pitch with a main stand which runs over pitch length down one side. The stand is fully covered with three rows of flip seats. The dugouts are on the opposite side with grass banking above the hard standing which surrounds the pitch.
Stanley United went nap in the first half, banging in five unanswered goals. Littletown were left frustrated by the performance of the referee, especially the 10 minute sin-bin time, which did appear to go well over the allocated time. The visitors pulled two goals back in the second half, but unfortunately they also had two players sent off, as they became more infuriated with the antics of the fussy man in the middle.
