A snow-covered pitch provided an unusual backdrop when the full-time squad - minus Tom Holroyd who couldn’t attend for personal reasons - posed for their annual team picture, before two hours of media interviews, thankfully carried out in the changing room area.
Ace Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Simon Hulme was present to capture all the action. Here’s 16 of his best pictures.
