Sport Venues
Although there is less tourism brought into the city by sport since Leeds United's exit from the premiership, it is still generated by Leeds United, Leeds Rhinos, Leeds Carnegie, Yorkshire Cricket, as well as England Cricket test games at Headingley. There is also National Hunt racing at Wetherby Racecourse. To a lesser extent tourism is brought to Leeds (particularly West Leeds) by Farsley Celtic.

Famous quotes containing the word sport:
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
