The U.S. U-20 Men’s National Team is hosting a training camp in the Triangle area and will play matches against the Carolina RailHawks senior team and the RailHawks U-23’s. On Tuesday, May 20th the RailHawks (first team, reserves and select Capital Area RailHawks Academy players) will play the U.S. U-20 MNT in WakeMed Stadium at 7:30pm. On Thursday, May 22nd the U-23’s will play the U.S. U-20 MNT on WakeMed Soccer Park Field 2 at 6:00pm. Both games are free to the public. Concessions and merchandise will be available for purchase at both games. These games are a great opportunity for Triangle soccer fans to get a look at the great, young talent on our Youth National Team.
“We’re thrilled to host U.S. Soccer and the U-20 Men’s National Team. It’s a great opportunity to showcase this talented national team and our facilities in the Triangle,” said RailHawks President Curt Johnson. “Our relationship with U.S. Soccer continues to be strong and we look forward to continuing a long tradition of hosting our men’s and women’s national teams at WakeMed Soccer Park.”
Displaying some of that talent on a local level, Conor Donovan continues to be an important part of the U.S. U-20 MNT. Donovan is a standout for the U-18 Capital Area RailHawks Academy and has previously been a part of U-20 training camps and matches. Donovan has shown true skill and promise in his time with the C.A. RailHawks Academy. During his busy schedule, Donovan has trained successfully with the RailHawks professional side, including registering and dressing for the RailHawks’ match against San Antonio on November 2, 2013. Shortly after that game, he was chosen to join the U.S. U-20 team on a trip to Italy. Donovan and Capital Area RailHawks teammate Caleb Duvernay will be a part of the upcoming U.S. U-20 training camp and will play against the RailHawks’ teams in their games at WakeMed Soccer Park.
RailHawks assistant coach and U-23’s Head Coach, Dewan Bader will serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. U-20 MNT during the training camp. Bader has been a RailHawks’ assistant coach since 2009 and he has been in charge of the U-23’s since 2008. Colin Clarke will take charge of the U-23’s (in addition to his senior team responsibilities) while Bader works with the U.S. U-20 MNT in late May.
The RailHawks host Southern rival Atlanta Silverbacks on Saturday, May 17th at WakeMed Soccer Park. The 6th Annual Taste of the Triangle will begin at 5:30pm, prior to the match kicking off at 7:30pm. Tickets for the match are available online at www.CarolinaRailHawks.com.
