The University All Star Game takes place this evening at The Coventry Butts Park Arena (kick-off 7pm). The event – organised by Football America UK – brings together the best university talent from higher education institutions in the North and the South.
Head coaches: Kieran Dunn (left, North) and Lydon Ward-Best (right, South)
Almost 400 players attended trials – and the task of selecting the two squads lead by Head coaches Kieran Dunn (Sheffield Hallam) and Lydon Ward-Best (Exeter) was a massive challenge.
In a statement ahead of the game the coaches said: “We are left with two incredible teams featuring the very best players the nation has to offer. The North will feature a powerful run attack whilst the amazing receiver group of the South will allow for an explosive passing game. Don’t forget the Defences; with both teams set to display fearsome pass rushers and extremely talented secondaries.”
Gates open at 5.30pm, kick off 7pm. Tickets available at gate – £5 with under 16s going free.
