A squad from Everton FC’s disability football programme will take on the Isle of Man’s Special Olympics team in a five-a-side match at the Bowl this evening, Friday.
Manx coach Mick Curran said ahead of the 5.30pm kick-off: ‘It is an honour and pleasure for the Isle of Man and Special Olympics to be able to welcome such highly respected opposition as Everton FC to play at the Bowl.’
‘We are expecting a very tough match, but our squad have been training hard and is looking forward to the match. It is thanks to the Isle of Man FA that this contact has been established and we hope to attract other disability football teams associated with other Premier League clubs over in the future.’
