NORTHERN Ireland will take on England on Friday night in the Sky Sports Victory Shield at Stangmore Park, Dungannon, kick-off: 7.00pm.
Stephen Robinson’s side kicked off their Victory Shield Campaign last Friday night with a 2-1 win away to Scotland, while England lost 1-0 to Wales.
Robinson said: “the boy’s done really well on Friday night against Scotland, they took on a lot of information that we have been trying to pass to them, they showed a lot of courage and showed a lot of quality on the ball at times.”
“It’s a super game, obviously England have a talented bunch of players as they always do and he (England Manager Steve Cooper) has made a lot changes as they have the ability to do that, so it will be a great game for us, but we have set ourselves up nicely and we want the boys to go out and express themselves and not feel under too much pressure.”
The Northern Ireland Schools’ Football Association is offering free entrance to any school or youth group wishing to attend the games against England or Wales. Any group wishing to gain free entrance should send their details by email to Edwin Ferris, NISFA Treasurer: edwinferris@yahoo.co.uk to obtain a group permit.
