Railhawks

The Carolina RailHawks are strongly rumoured to be hosting a pre-season friendly against the Irons on July 12, 2016 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.

www.wralsportsfan.com are quoting reliable sources but their report says that no official response has been received  although a club announcement could be made next week.

Last year, the RailHawks were in advanced negotiations with Sunderland AFC to host a summer friendly, but plans could not be finalized.

The RailHawks, presently top of the the NASL standings, continue their 2016 regular season this Saturday when they host the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

    Would be good if we are going if we could get another couple of games out there as well,
