Latest 'View from Richmond Park' column


The latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column from the Carmarthen Journal  newspaper -
There was a great welcome for the new Welsh football team manager Chris Coleman at the Richmond Park clubhouse and community centre last week.
Fans were able to meet and question Coleman and women’s team manager Jarmo Matikainen.
The event was one of a series of FAW roadshows travelling around Wales.
This Carmarthen roadshow focussed on 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.
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.
Carmarthen AFC club chairman Gareth Jones said he was delighted with the success of the roadshow. “It was a delight to welcome Chris Coleman and the FAW team to Richmond Park,” he said. “The evening was a great success.”
