The official launch of Radcliffe Borough’s new-style youth academy takes place at Stainton Park tonight from 7pm.

The programme for 16-18-year-olds is a two-year educational course where students will study for a BTEC Level 3 Diploma in sport and play for the Radcliffe Borough Academy side in the NPL Football Academy League.

Players who have already trialled are invited to attend to view a presentation on the programme.

Trial sessions continue to take place every Thursday at the club from 6pm-7pm.

Anyone interested can log on to www.nplfootball academy.co.uk, call Pete Lofthouse on 07766 911520 or e-mail the club at rbfc@hotmail.co.uk
