Following our recent announcement that the team has been invited to play an international friendly against Dave Kitson's Nauru National Team, BBC Radio Berkshire got in touch and invited the lads along to chat about what this means to the club, the players, and the wider Berkshire community.
The boys did us proud too! Tom Giles (Club Treasurer) and Chris Broadhurst (Chairman and First Team Manager) chatted like pros with Kirsten O'Brien, having found out 2 mins before they sat down that the whole thing was going out LIVE! Fair play lads! Tom said:
"The whole reason Dave Kitson asked us to come along, is that he wants to leave a legacy of what we're doing here in Berkshire currently, trying to get people fitter, trying to get people active, and hopefully leaving a legacy of kids wanting to play football too."
And with lots of publicity surrounding Dave's appointment as Nauru National Team Manager floating around already, there's sure to be more to come from this incredible, once in a lifetime story!
Now the hard part begins! The club needs to raise the funds to get to Nauru and be a part of helping this nation start their journey toward a healthier lifestyle, and that's where you can potentially help us out. If you'd like to donate even a few pounds to Reading XL FC to make this opportunity a reality, please visit the club's GoFundMe page via the link below. Your support will be hugely appreciated by everyone involved in the club and we send collective thanks to everyone who has already contributed - you're all amazing!

We can't wait to see how this story develops!
