[Seaton (C)arew FC @SeatonCarewFC]

Seaton Carew FC are absolutely delighted to announce that we will face @Official_HUFC in a pre-season friendly in July!

Following a very successful season for Seaton Carew FC first team, this opportunity highlights the direction that our own club is heading in, as well as forming a relationship with 'The Town's Club' that we hope will continue following the conclusion of the fixture, as well as living long in the memory of those involved. It is a chance to test ourselves against the National League side, but also celebrate football within the town.

Hosting Hartlepool United at the Phoenix 2 Retail next month is an incredible, groundbreaking event for both our club and the community. 

Plans for the fixture are well underway and it promises to be a huge and memorable day for all at Seaton Carew FC.

Ticketing information for the fixture will be communicated with both sets of supporters in due course.
