After a successful edition which was excellently organised by Andrew Waters in 2016 which saw Lanchester defeat Shotley Bridge in front of one of the largest crowds seen at Balckfyne seen for some time it is no surprise to see the popular competition taking place again this year. The draw was made at the club's Management meeting in May and details of that is as follows;
