UFCA Scholars will begin their pre-season fixture schedule tomorrow afternoon against Barnsley FC at Oakwell Stadium.

UFCA Scholars, coached by Isaiah Rankin and Sam Dexter, will make the 56-mile round trip to South Yorkshire to take on Barnsley FC.


The fixture will be the opening game of the UFCA Scholars pre-season campaign - with further matches against Grimsby Town, FC United of Manchester, Pro Direct Academy and Bradford Park Avenue all scheduled next week.


The game will kick off at 3.00pm at Barnsley FC Academy at Oakwell Stadium - with team news, full-time results, post-match interviews, photo galleries and match highlights available on UFCA social media channels.


UFCA Director Steve Grime commented: "We're extremely excited to be opening up our pre-season fixture campaign tomorrow afternoon against Barnsley.


"They are a really highly-regarded and proven academy setup in the area - and we know that the fixture will provide a challenging test for the group.


"We will be travelling to South Yorkshire with a strong 16-man squad, and are confident that the players can translate their high standards shown in training into impressive performances in a match environment."
