Hide Ad"A lot of planning and organisation has gone into it and the lads are really excited. We are very hopeful about our chances.
"I'm told that the Dukla Pumpherston guys are very good. They'll be a bit older than us, but will still be able to knock the ball about very nicely.
"It is not often you get the chance to play against guys who have plied their trade at the highest level.
"Chick Young plays left back for Dukla Pumpherston. So I want to make sure I'm playing right midfield for us, because I think I can take on Chick for pace!"
