All of the games will take place at Upminster Park on Bank Holiday Monday (25th May) with Hadleigh & Thundersley, Chelmsford and Gidea Park & Romford making the journey to RM14.

Upminster will open the day at 10.00am when they take on Hadleigh and that will be followed at 1.00pm by the Chelmsford against Gidea Park contest. The winners of those two matches will then contest the group final at around 4.15pm. Whoever comes out on top in that final will progress to Finals Day in July.

Upminster met Chelmsford in the Group Final at Chelmer Park last May, and will be hoping to go at least one better this year as they try to make Finals Day for the seventh time in the history of the competition.

There is also a home draw for the 1st XI in the Duke Essex League Cup. Upminster will welcome Premier Division Buckhurst Hill to Upminster Park for a first round tie in the revamped competition on Saturday 25th April (12.00pm).
