Youghal United Announces Clarets v Sky Blues Fundraising Day

 May Bank Holiday Soccer Marathon will raise funds for repair of storm-damaged floodLights

 On Sunday May 4th, Youghal United's Clarets v Sky Blues Fundraising Day will bring club members past and present together for a day of football and fun.

 Each of the club's thirteen teams will be split evenly into two sides, with players representing one of the club's two colours:
 The Clarets or the Sky Blues.

 The two sides from each team will face off for a 7-a-side match on the club's newly re-surfaced, state-of-the-art all-weather pitch. After every match, the teams will go head-to-head in a penalty shootout and cross bar challenge.

 Teams will earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, two points for a crossbar hit, and one point for a penalty. 

 Results will be added to the overall Clarets v Sky Blues score, which will be updated on a scoreboard throughout the day, as well as on the club's Twitter feed and Facebook page.

 The Twitter hashtag #claretsvskyblues will make it easy for everyone to follow the action, even if they're not at Ardrath Park.

 After the Academy and Schoolboy matches are complete, the club's Junior and Senior panels will play blindfolded.

 Finally, a Legends game featuring some well known past players will prove that these guys may be old, but they're still slow 

 After the final match, all the Clarets and Sky Blues from throughout the day will gather for the presentation of the Perpetual Cup, which will be awarded by none other than FAI Chief Executive John Delaney. 

 This will be followed by the official opening of the club's newly re-surfaced all-weather pitch, and a raffle drawing for two VIP tickets to the Ireland v Turkey match at the Aviva Stadium on May 25th.

 An after-party at main club sponsor Bertie's will be the perfect place to end a day of football, fundraising and fun.

 "After the recent storm damage to our floodlights, the club's committee came up with the idea of the Clarets v Sky Blues Fundraising Day as a way to bring all our members together to raise funds as well as have a bit of fun," said Youghal United
 Chairman Damien O'Brien.
 "Obviously, we're also very excited to have FAI Chief
 Executive John Delaney to present the Perpetual Cup to the winning team, as well as to open our newly re-surfaced all-weather pitch."
