The British Army U23s take on the RAF in the first Inter Services match of 2024 and according to head coach, Warrant Officer Class Two Gerwyn Griffiths, they're looking for glory this year.

The youngsters in red were in contention for the title last year after an impressive 3-0 win against the Air Force and WO2 Griffiths is hoping his side can go one better in 2024.

This year's match against the RAF is the first live offering of the tournament, with coverage beginning at 13:45 on Wednesday 7 February on the Forces News YouTube channel.

"We're looking forward to getting stuck in against the RAF," said WO2 Griffiths. "We'd be looking to go one better this year in winning both games.

"This is the platform and the stepping stone to the big stage which is senior service football.

"This is great for them to go and showcase themselves. They can certainly put themselves out there and show what they've got."
