Wales v Poland - in Carmarthen!
They may be poles apart geographically but soccer bosses at Carmarthen Town are gearing up for a local 'derby' atmosphere when Wales take on Poland in an under-23 semi-pro international match at Richmond Park.
With big Polish populations in Carmarthenshire - particularly in Llanelli, Llanybydder and in the Ammanford area - the stage is set for a cracking night of football - on Tuesday September 8.
The game is in preparation for a new round of qualifying games in the International Trophy competition later in the season. Kick off is 7.30pm.
