Blessington FC will take on a team of Polish journalists in memory of the young Irish fan who lost his life in Bydgoszcz during Euro 2012.

THE MAYOR OF Bydgoszcz,  Rafal Bruski, Blessington FC and the Polish FA have come together to organise a football match in memory of James Nolan, it has been announced.

The match, which takes place on 13 October, will see Blessington FC take on a team of Polish journalists.

    Believe it or not kicking isn’t a major part of the game. Now sling it.

    Guess you don’t know the game well, they don’t often kick the ball. Throwing and running with it is more common. Go hawks!!!!!!!
