Latest 'View from Richmond Park' column
The latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column from the Carmarthen Journal newspaper -
Richmond Park will host another mini-football match at half-time in the Carmarthen v Neath Welsh Premier League match on Friday night.
“We have already seen two games in this series of mini-football matches – and they have been hugely popular with spectators at Richmond Park,” said Carmarthen Town AFC schools liaison officer Phil Grice.
“There is a great buzz at Richmond Park during floodlit matches and there is sure to be great interest in Friday’s game as it could see former Swansea City hero Lee Trundle playing for Neath.
“Old ‘Magic Daps’ is quite a favourite with the youngsters and I am sure the teams taking part in Friday night’s half-time match are looking forward to the experience.”
The match is part of the Carmarthen Town AFC Community Programme, which is sponsored by EMC Electrical services and Neil Alexander.
Mr Grice added: “The community programme is an excellent vehicle for making sure that Carmarthen Town gets involved in the grassroots in Carmarthen. Friday’s match will be between Ysgol y Peniel and Richmond Park and I am sure both teams will love the experience of playing under lights at a Welsh Premier League ground and in front of plenty of cheering supporters.”
