Latest 'View from Richmond Park' column


The latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column from the Carmarthen Journal  newspaper -
On Thursday (January 26) at 7.30pm there will be a great opportunity for West Wales football fans to meet both Wales team national managers when Chris Coleman and women’s teams manager, Jarmo Matikainen will be at Carmarthen Town Football Club.
The event is one of a series of FAW roadshows travelling around Wales.
This one is specially to talk about the UEFA Under 19 Women’s Finals that will be hosted in Wales in August 2013. Some of those matches will be played at Richmond Park Carmarthen.
The evening will take the form of a questions and answers session, hosted by FAW Head of Public Affairs, Ian Gwyn Hughes and Jarmo Matikainen. Chris Coleman will attend the event to help endorse the tournament.
In addition, information will be given on the tournament and ways that the public can get involved – as spectators or tournament volunteers. It will be the first time that Wales has ever hosted such a tournament and seven other sides will join us for a festival of female football.
Other matches will be held in Swansea and Llanelli. Visitors will come to South West Wales from all over Europe for the two weeks, so it will be a considerable boost to the tourist numbers for the area too.
The event is free and will be held in the clubhouse. All are welcome.
