ENGLAND v Switzerland comes to Atherton on Friday night.

Atherton Collieries Football Club will be staging a friendly vets international clash.

Locally-based Real Madras will be taking on Swiss outfit SC Blustavia at 7.30pm.

Real Madras have been together for four years and used to play league football, but now focus on friendlies.

They are considering Friday's game as a warm-up to the forthcoming England v Switzerland clash in the Africa World Cup.
