We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting Burnley under 23s on Saturday 17th July at 1pm at Somerset Park. The match will be a competitive ‘Partnership’ game, where the management team of both sides will get a chance to look at the quality of the players.
All our Academy coaches and players will get the chance to watch the game and it will be a valuable learning experience for our young players.
David Smith, Ayr United Chairman said: “The partnership with Burnley is a strategically important one for Ayr United and we are delighted to host them on the 17th and allow our young players to actively look at the pathway available”.

We have already established mutually beneficial links with our opposite numbers in the Burnley Academy and the visit will help us to further strengthen these beyond the game itself.
