The Big Day is fast approaching.  The annual grudge match between the two sides of The Woodford Valley, Ye Woedfords and Ye Doenfords. Bigger than the Liverpool derby.  Fiercer than City versus United. Even more bitter than the Old Firm match.  Five thousand years of history encapsulated in eighty minutes of blood, sweat and beers.
