Two big matches at Carmarthen on Friday!
There will be two big matches at Richmond Park, Carmarthen, on Friday night.
Carmarthen Town kick-off their Welsh Premier League match against Haverfordwest County at 7.30pm.
And, at half-time, two schools teams go head-to-head in a junior primary school match on the pitch.
It’s the start of a new innovation at Richmond Park to give youngsters first-hand experience of playing on the Welsh Premier ground.
“Teams from Richmond Park School and St Mary’s School will be special guests of Carmarthen Town on Friday night,” said Town vice-chairman Robert Lloyd.
“The local ‘derby’ against Haverfordwest is always keenly contested and is a must-win match for both teams, so there is sure to be a buzz around the ground on Friday night.
“This year, we are planning to give as many youngsters as a taste of what the big match experience is like. They will get a pep-talk from manager Tomi Morgan and meet some of Town’s players.
“The highlight for the youngsters will be running out on the Richmond Park pitch for a mini six-a-side match lasting 10 minutes at half-time.
“Richmond Park and St Mary’s will be the first two teams taking part in this new venture, but we are keen to hear from other schools who want to join in. They can do so by ringing our schools liaison officer Phil Grice on 01267 235073 or Paul Ashley-Jones, the head of our community programme, on 07775 820864.”
Sarah Mansfield, Head of Sports at St Mary's School Carmarthen said: "Our children are looking forward to playing on Friday."
Daniel Cooper, sports-master at Richmond Park School, said: “We will be training during the week for this match.”
