The Nye Camp outfit go head to head with City at Oaklands Park at 3pm in a game arranged to raise both funds and awareness for the cause.

The Rocks' season concluded last Saturday with a 1-0 reverse at Enfield Town in the Isthmian premier division -- which meant Blake's men finished 9th in the standings.

Now Blake is readying his squad for one last hurrah, all in support of a fantastic charity. He said: "It's a great cause and we are delighted to be able to take part and hopefully raise as much money as possible. On the day we will choose from a squad with both senior players and youngsters. We're hoping for a great turn out and would urge Rocks fans to come and support the initiative."
