THE date has been confirmed for this season’s Suffolk Champions Charity Shield.

Thurston will take on Redgrave Rangers at the Getaway Cars Stadium, home of Bury Town FC, on Friday, August 9th, 7.45pm.

The Suffolk Champions Charity Shield is contested annually between the winners of the Parkers Pitches Suffolk Junior Cup and the McDonald’s Suffolk Primary Cup.

Thurston won last season’s Suffolk Junior Cup, defeating first-time finalists Woolverstone United 3-1 in the final at Portman Road.

Redgrave Rangers lifted the Suffolk Primary Cup thanks to a 2-0 victory over Cavenidsh in the final at Colchester United’s Jobserve Community Stadium.

Proceeds from the match, including ticket sales, will go to the British Heart Foundation.

Tickets can be purchased on the night at the turnstile but payment will be by card only.

The Champions Charity Cup will take place at Bloomfields, home of Needham Market FC on Tuesday, July 30th, kick-off 7.45pm.

The match will be between Needham Market, winners of the Endeavour Automotive Suffolk Premier Cup, and CNet Training Suffolk Senior Cup winners Trimley Red Devils.
