On the 2nd March NCF Elites will travel to the home of Premiership side Arsenal‘s Academy at Hale end to take on the young gunners for an 11am kick off.

Elites Director Paul Johnson said ‘This is great start to our preparation for the Gothia Cup in July. The boys put on a great performance against Stevenage Academy, however this is the next step up.’

In July these Elites players will fly out to Sweden to compete against teams from all over the globe. Fixtures of this calibre will help prepare the squad for what lies ahead.
