Matches to take place on 17 and 19 July

League Two club Shrewsbury Town will be among the sides visiting the Island this year for the Summer Festival of Football.

They'll join National League North's Radcliffe and Northern Premier League Division One West champions Bury FC, along with FC Isle of Man.

All matches are being held at Ballacloan Stadium in Ramsey, having previously taken place at the Bowl.

The matches will get underway on 17 July, when Radcliffe face Shrewsbury Town (3.30pm kickoff) and the Ravens take on Bury (7.30pm kickoff).

On 19 July, the third-place playoff kicks off at 11am and the grand final is at 3pm.

Director of Football Lee Dixon said: "They’ve got a brilliant stadium, great pitch, so going down there, it’s an opportunity for us to put another tick on the list of what Paul spoke about when he originally set the club up and that it was about the Manx community.

"The Manx community is obviously not just Douglas, not just The Bowl, this is taking it out to another place like Ramsey and hopefully all the bars and restaurants and shops get to benefit from that and we’ll have a very busy Ramsey on July 17th and 19th."
