Penrith AFC or “The Bonny Blues” as they are nicknamed are one of the counties oldest being able to trace their origins back to 1894!\u00a0 They originally played their home games pretty much in the middle of the town at Southend Road, however when that was designated for redevelopment they had to move.<\/p>\n

They can now be found on the outskirts of the town at the Frenchfields Stadium which is rather picturesque if a little harder to get to.<\/p>\n
