ROGER BRUMMITT TROPHY: Unbeaten Camp Retro looking forward to a hat-trick of titles.
The superstar side led by National League ace Cameron Heald have only entered the Brummitt twice in 2016 & 2017 and they’ve emerged victorious on both occasions.
Some teams will be weakened by City of Peterborough’s decisive match in the East Premier A Division at Chelmsford tomorrow, but the 16 teams will still be expected to provide much entertainment.
