The popular Carmarthen Town AFC Community Programme Schools Tournament will soon resume at Richmond Park, Carmarthen.
The schools matches, usually played at half-time during floodlit Friday night matches at Richmond Park, are a popular feature of the EMS Services-sponsored Community Programme.
Schools Liaison Officer Phil Grice said: “The matches are always a big hit with the crowd at Richmond Park and the children love the buzz of playing under floodlights at a Welsh Premier League ground.”
Subject to any possible fixture changes, the next matches in the tournament are scheduled as follows –
Friday 11 November: Richmond Park v Nantgaredig
Friday 25 November: Model School v Ysgol y Dderwen
