The two teams will be wearing Easington Sports and Adderbury Park kits, the two clubs Jim managed. Many of the players also played for one of these two clubs when Jim was manager.

There are 50 players who have signed up to play and many more that will come along and support the event. There will be a raffle, bar and refreshments, including genuine Cornish Pasties!

Entry is free to everyone but the players will pay £10 to play and any donations on the day will be greatly appreciated.
