St Pat's to host Cliftonville in pre-season clash

St Patrick’s Athletic will play host to Ireland’s oldest club later this month when Irish League side Cliftonville begin their pre-season programme with a visit to Richmond Park.

Cliftonville, who are celebrating their 125th anniversary this year, will take on the Saints, relative newcomers after just 75 years in existence, in a friendly at the Inchicore venue on Saturday, July 17.
