Irish tour back on

Last updated : 26 May 2002 By Dave Moore
Athletic's pre-season trip to Northern Ireland is back on with two matches already confirmed. The games are set to take place in mid July before the other pre-season friendlies which have already been arranged.


The Latics will play the Irish Premier Division Champions Portadown and also Lisburn Distillery who last season won the Smirnoff Irish 1st. Division Championship. Definite dates will be confirmed later.
