Football fever is coming to Mumbles Rangers as we invite the local community to the McDonald’s Football Open Day on Saturday 14th August 2010. Organised by McDonald’s local Franchisee, Ron Mounsey and Mumbles Rangers, the Open Day, forms part of McDonald’s Community partnership with The FA to help inspire our youngsters’ love of the beautiful game through fun, interactive coaching sessions and mini-tournaments. Families and friends will be encouraged to join in the fun too, through coaching or even signing up as a club volunteer.

The McDonald’s Football Open Day and the club tournaments will be kicking off at 10am at Underhill Park, Newton Road in Mumbles and to make the day even more memorable, McDonald’s Head Coach Eric Harrison will be on hand to run the many training sessions taking place. As former Head of Manchester United's Youth Academy, Eric is the coach behind some of the world’s greatest ever players. And that’s not all, McDonald’s football ambassador;yet to be announced, will also be coming along to share some of the tips and tricks acquired over the years.

Ian Rush MBE, comments : “We want to provide the community with a football-focused fun day out for all. Football is part of the fabric of our society, and no more so than in a World Cup year. It’s a great testament to Ron Maunsey and other McDonald’s franchisees that they’re committed to making football accessible to whole communities, helping to raise the standards of grassroots football up and down the country, week in, week out.

Ron Mounsey adds: “McDonald’s proudly supports football in Britain’s communities and in partnership with The FA, The Scottish FA, The Irish FA and The Welsh Football Trust, we’re looking to leave a legacy in communities that will last for years to come. As a part of that, we’re well on our way to coaching over 1 million children to date, and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 14th August 2010 - to help us add to that goal.”
