Academy’s director of football Virgil Seymour said: “The relationship between football and academics is very important to Academy and we hope that this school partnership will emphasise to our players how important academics are.
“We want everyone to come out and support the youth players. The games are going to be exciting and intense. We want to thank our major sponsor, One, Tree, Four, Five Collections Ltd and additional sponsors Crighgton Properties and Fabrizone Cleaning Systems.”
