The match gets under way at 1.30pm and more than 200 people are expected at Findon’s Long Furlong home.

Captain Bridson believes it’s an exciting time to be skipper at the club and said: “It’s going to be a great day and we are expecting a few to be at the ground on Sunday.

“We’ll have players past and present for 150 years of this club running. Some of those attending will be able to play but others may well be a little too old now!”

Findon have held a number of events this season in the build-up to Sunday’s anniversary. Organiser Jason Nicholls is delighted so many players from years gone by have accepted an invite.
