IT’S just over six months since young Riley Hall suffered a rare stroke.
But that didn’t stop him from leading the Reds out on to the pitch at the 130th anniversary match last Saturday.
Riley, six, was asked to be a mascot by defender Angus MacDonald who visited his school on Friday and presented him with a signed shirt.
Riley fell ill in February complaining of headaches and dizziness. After two trips to the GP, he was referred to Barnsley Hospital for a scan, and subsequently transferred to Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
