An Ebbsfleet United XI will travel to Princes Park in the summer to provide the opposition for Dartford player Ryan Hayes’ testimonial game.

The match will take place on Sunday July 17th as Dartford reward 30-year-old winger Hayes (pictured above, middle) who has been at the club for 11 years. He joined Dartford towards the end of the 2004/05 season from Kent League side Slade Green.

Hayes said, “I’m looking forward to all the events, but especially this match. The players I’m inviting will make the day a good one I’m sure.”

Tickets for the testimonial match go on sale from the Dartford club shop and main reception and will cost £10 (adults), £5 (under-18s) and £25 for a family ticket – two adults and two children. Any enquiries should be made to Dartford FC.

Ebbsfleet United club secretary Peter Danzey said, “In this day and age anyone that does 11 years at one club deserves recognition and I think was a great gesture from Dartford to ask us to play this game & I think it says a lot about the esteem we are held in.”
