The all-star team have entered the popular competition three times and won on every occasion. They beat Sons of Pitches 1-0 in last year’s final.

Few will bet against them completing an unprecedented four-timer, although they will have a couple of players involved in City of Peterborough’s National League play-off game against Fareham tomorrow.
