Newmarket Town to host Over 70's International between England and Wales

 

It isn't often that one of our clubs gets to host an international match, and we've only just learned about this one so we thought we'd better let you know quickly, as it''s today!  

 

Kicking off at 2.30 PM, the Tristel Stadium will take a break from hosting tense, nervous fans of the Jockeys and instead host England Over 70's against Wales Over 70's as they compete for the NHS Trophy. Wales are the current holders, winning the last meeting between the sides by two goals to nil, so the veterans with three lions on their shirts will be searching for revenge!

 

Entry is free, there will be food and refreshments available, and if you have the time we'd very much recommend that you go!

 

The Wales squad is as follows, under management team Alun Huish and Jon Ross:


Alan Meacham (GK) - Swansea
John Jordan - Newport
Paul Young - Newport
Paul Diaper - Newport
Peter Morgan - Penybont
Dave Abbott - Newport
Peter Laffan - Swansea
Mick Algieri - Swansea
Ian Dickinson - Newport
Terry Compton - Newport
Howard Petersen - Barry Town
Landi Assadi - Swansea
Phil Newton - Swansea
Phil Williams - Newport
Nick Gartside - Newport
Tim Bowker - Barry Town

 

The England squad looks like this:
