ARKLOW TOWN FC
We are most honoured to be hosting a very exciting international friendly tournament this weekend in our grounds in Bridgewater Centre Park as we welcome a select group of players from PEC Zwolle FC to compete in two games against our under-17 DDSL team.
PEC Zwolle are a Dutch club based in Zwolle. The club currently plays in the Eredivisie which is the country’s highest level of club football. They play their home games in the Mac3Park Stadium which has the capacity to hold 13,250 people.
Arklow Town FC are most privileged to be hosting this international friendly tournament and we hope to see a large turnout from all our club personnel, players, managers and supporters of our club to watch these games.
We will have more details on this event during the course of this week on our Facebook page, The Town-Arklow Town FC, so do keep an eye on the page for further updates.
Well done to our under-14A WDSL team player Jack Kavanagh who, along with the rest of the players on this year’s representative Wicklow Kennedy Cup team, received a commemorative trophy for their fantastic performances in Limerick.
The Kennedy Cup team was managed by our under-17 DDSL manager Jim Barnes, with Robbie Moore as assistant manager/head coach.
Their coaching staff comprised of Claude Dagge, Sean Mulligan, Conor Clack and team physio was Ferdia Fallon Verbruggen. Well done to Jack and all the Kennedy Cup team on their great achievement in the tournament and for representing their county with pride, from all of us here in Arklow Town FC.
