Work will get under way this week to dredge parts of Pocklington's canal.

At the moment, sections are overrun with reeds.

It's the first time in over 100 years these parts of the canal will be dredged.

Image source, Canal and River Trust

The idea is to allow more species of aquatic plants and wildlife to thrive by removing some of the reeds from the canal.

An aquatic digger will excavate 8,000 tonnes of silt, which is the same as 2,258 elephants!

That silt will be re-used on a nearby farm.

Just under a mile of the nine-mile canal will be dredged.

As well as helping wildlife to thrive, it's hoped opening up the waterway will make the canal navigable again to both canoeists and boaters.

The Yorkshire International Football Association (YIFA, external) was founded in July and chairman Philip Hegarty insists it is "no joke".

The association has announced Ryan Farrell, an experienced semi-pro, as the county's first head coach.

Mr Hegarty said: "We are presenting and promoting the Yorkshire heritage."

It has applied to join the Confederation of Independent Football Associations, external (CONIFA), said Mr Hegarty.

If all goes according to plan, they could be playing international finals against the likes of Western Armenia in the next few years.

A trial for players is to be held at Hemsworth Miners Welfare FC in December.

To meet the criteria the Yorkshire team, nicknamed the Vikings, has to prove the white rose county's distinctiveness and linguistic differences to CONIFA.

That shunt be a reet big ask, wot's tha reckon?
