Rochford aim to make it three in a row when they take on neighbours Canvey in tonight's Shepherd Neame Floodlit Cup final at Southend Rugby Club.

The competition is for non-registered B team players who have not appeared in any first team league or cup games this season.

A high standard of rugby is expected among the mix of veteran and up-and-coming players, with the forward battle between the sides looking especially interesting.

Rochford have won it in each of the first two seasons and their defeat of Canvey in last year's final adds a bit of intrigue to this year's battle.

Rochford will no doubt also be out to avenge January's first-team defeat by Canvey. Kick-off at Warners Park is 7.30pm.
