A large crowd is expected at Langford Road for the County final against Stockwood which starts at 3pm and will be preceded by a buffet and a Mini Rugby exhibition game.

Luton-based Stockwood play in Midlands 2 and are looking to complete a unique treble by winning the cup for the third year in succession. However they have had a tough time in the league and have only just managed to stay out of the relegation positions.

Biggleswade chairman Steve ‘Stan’ Matthews said: “Stockwood Park may be two divisions higher but this will only inspire our players. It was 20 years ago when we last won it.”
