Fans of the U.S of A will be pleased to hear that American Football team the Carrickfergus Knights are helping you to celebrate US Independence Day (4th July to you and I) in style with a ‘season defining’ game against the North Kildare Reapers at Carrickfergus Rugby Club.

The game will kick off at 1pm with another head to head between three-time national champions the Belfast Trojans and the Craigavon Cowboys at 4pm.

Now for the best bit, alongside nail-bitingly tense American Football games, the Carrickfergus Knights will be hosting a family fun day with entertainment, food and drinks for everyone! Check out the event here.

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
