We are delighted to announce that as part of the build-up to season 2018-19, we will be playing Jong PSV on Saturday 14th July 2018.

The game will be held at PSV’s training facilities, De Herdgang, located in the outskirts of the city of Eindhoven. The training ground, which is in woodland surroundings, consists of several grass and artificial pitches, extensive training facilities, and a fitness centre. De Herdgang is situated five kilometres north of the Philips Stadium and the town centre of Eindhoven. Not only is it the training facility for PSV´s first team, but the reserve, youth and amateur teams also play their home matches here.

Huge thanks go to our new shirt sponsors, Ebac, who have helped sponsor part of this trip and to all the players who have contributed part of their salary, and to directors John Tempest and David Johnston who have helped with any shortfall.

Manager Tommy Wright said; “I feel honoured to have been invited to play this friendly away in Eindhoven and at their amazing training facility which is currently undergoing huge redevelopment. It will be a great experience for the lads and a great weekend away for the fans. I have good friendships with all of the staff there and I’m sure we will be made to feel very welcome during our visit.”
