As we witnessed last year, for those that experienced just that, it was a truly memorable occasion. It was also embraced by the players in a competitive, yet light hearted manner which made for some brilliant footage.

“We’re sure the developments that have been made this season will add a little extra competition. After all, no one like losing and especially not to your local rivals.’’
