The Inaugural Lord Bedlington Cup Football (Soccer) Match and cup presentation is tonight, June 29, at 6:30 p.m. The match will highlight the Bedlington football club’s week long visit to Western New York, which also will include youth soccer clinics conducted by players from Bedlington and FC Buffalo earlier this week and with the Terriers and Niagara United in Niagara Falls, Canada on July 2.
Tonight’s match will be held at Robert E. Rich Sr. All-High Stadium, 2885 Main Street, behind Bennett High School. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 kids ages 14 and under. Tickets can be purchased at RER All-High Stadium.
The Bedlington Football Club’s visit to Western New York was conceived by Bob Rich, Jr., Chairman, Rich Products Corporation and Bison Baseball Inc., who became interested in Bedlington and its football club in 2010 after tracing his ancestral roots back to the town.
