Last season:
A successful campaign for the expectations of the lions last time out managing to survive in the national league.
They left it very late to survive but a last minute equalser against Solihull Moors kept the lions up right at the death. As a result sent York City down.
The lions' FA Cup campaign did not last long as the lions lost out to Lincoln City in there last qualifying round replay.
As for the FA Trophy Guiseley made it slightly further reaching the second round. The lions' beat National league north side Chorley in the first round 1-0. In the second round National league north side Nuneaton Town proved too much for the lions. Guiseley lost 6-1 to bring there FA Trophy journey to an end.
History:
The lions were formed back in 1909. They have played at Nethermoore park since they were established 108 years ago. The lions have been most successful in the West Riding County Cup winning the competition 9 times in there history. Most recently in the 2011-12 season.
Throughout there history the lions have never progressed further than the first round in the iconic FA Cup. Along with this they have never gone past the semi finals in the FA Trophy.
We look forward to facing the lions next season.
