The game, against Commercial Old Boys Veterans, a team of over 40s who play in the Umbro Veterans Tournament, will be played at Colne's XLCR stadium on Sunday 17^th October, kicking off at 3:00 p.m. and the money raised from the game will help both Colne and the Commercial Old Boys Veterans as well as aiding youth and ground development.
