Precision Goalkeeping Make Winning International Debut

Precision Goalkeeping made their full international debut at the weekend courtesy of Republic of Ireland’s Keiren Westwood.

Coventry City keeper, Westwood, helped the Republic of Ireland to a 2-1 win over Macedonia in their European Championship qualifier.

Westwood’s appearance marks the first appearance of Precision Goalkeeping gloves in a full international fixture.

David Sanderson, National Sales Manager for Precision Training, said; “We are delighted Keiren has made his competitive debut for the Republic of Ireland.

“He is an outstanding keeper and we are very proud that he has chosen to wear our gloves both for Coventry and the Republic of Ireland.

“Our debut on the international stage is a landmark step for the brand in what has already been an outstanding year.

“The new range of gloves hits the stores this month and the feedback from the retailers has been very encouraging – it is a very exciting time for us.”
