In a warm-up for next month's epic clash, several Broomfield players old and new lined up against each other in Bushey Park last Sunday.
Simon Bowell, Richard Kane, David Preston and Phil Stephenson, together with an Israeli trialist, teamed up against a youth team side which included future players Alasdair Kane, Tom Kane, Cameron Ramsey, Stuart Ramsey and Will Stephenson.
It was just like the old days as Kip dominated the penalty area, Cab bossed the midfield and El Supremo ran the opposition defence ragged. Well it was for the first 14 seconds until we ran out of breath. Incredibly, they managed to battle on for another 40 minutes and were only beaten 8–5 with Stuart Ramsey managing to sneak in six lucky goals.
A fine day was enjoyed by all and the celebrations continued long into the night at the Accident and Emergency Department of Kingston Hospital.
