Elthamians will be hoping its a case of fifth time lucky when they take on Sidcup in the Kent Cup final this afternoon.

The club have reached the County showpiece on four previous occasions in the last 10 years, and have fallen at the final hurdle each time.

This year’s final which takes place at Charlton Park RFC (60a Broad Walk
Kidbrooke, SE3 8NB is a repeat of last season’s showpiece which saw Sidcup snatch a thrilling 33-27 victory over OEs’ second string with two tries in the final five minutes.

Sidcup beat Canterbury 25-0 in the first round to reach the final while Elthamians have yet to play a game in this year’s competition after being given two walkovers in previous rounds.

The game also marks the final appearance in an Elthamians shirt for player-coach Adam Preocanin (pictured) who will be looking to sign off his playing career after 50 appearances in the real blue and gold with some silverware on Sunday.

Old Elthamians v Sidcup kicks off at 4pm.
