Since then, the proposed ConIFA World Cup had to be postponed due to COVID so neither side has had many opportunities to play.
James Nichols is Cascadia’s head coach. He told Prost:
“I am delighted to get back to competitive action in what will be a big test against Kernow. Our lads won’t have met since we played against the Chagos Islands two years ago and we know that the game at Northwood will be a fantastic barometer of where we currently are.”
Northwood FC were delighted to be asked to host the game. Club secretary Alan Evans said:
“Having not staged a game at the Fenton Engineering Stadium for nearly seven months, the club is looking forward to welcoming both Cascadia and their guests from Cornwall for this International Challenge match.
“The clubhouse will be open at last and we hope plenty of people will want to see a live game just before the official end of the season.”
Tickets can be pre-purchased at Northwood’s onlnie ticket function and commemorative programmes will be available on the day.
Tickets are £10.00 for adults while concession (OAPs, Students, 16-18 years) tickets are £5.00. Under 16s can enter free.
