The Chauntry Challenge Cup Final, Maidenhead v FC, 26/7/14

The friendly at Maidenhead on Saturday 26 July 2014 is being designated as The Chauntry Challenge Cup Final and there is an impressive trophy to be won on the day.

The theme of the match will be an old-fashioned FA Cup Final day, starting with the players walking the pitch before the game. Margy promises they won’t be in white suits, though maybe we’re hoping the Maidenhead United players will be. Pre-match brass band entertainment will be provided by the British Marching Band, culminating in the traditional Abide With Me, which will be sung by Kenny Lynch and in the spirit of cup days the national anthem will also be played. Immediately pre-match there will be a presentation of the players on the red carpet and post-game there will be the usual trophy presentation ceremony. The referee for the game will be former Premiership ref Mark Halsey.

We’re looking forward to a great day of celebrations and hoping there will be traditional FA Cup sunshine too.

Further match details will be posted nearer the time.
