Falkland president, Robbie Nellies, said: “Village Cup games are always special occasions and this one even more so as it will be the very first time we will have hosted a UK National Round match.

“We don’t know much about Staxton but in facing a team from south of the border we know we will be in for a tough match.

“We are really looking forward to it though and are hoping for a large crowd to get behind us.”

The 40 over game starts at 1pm at Scroggie Park and there will be a barbecue with refreshments available with the community invited.

The club is also holding a raffle on the day for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Scotland.
