There is something of an international flavour to the tournament, with Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar joining Celtic, United and hosts Whitby - who currently ply their trade in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier Division.

It all gets up and running on Thursday, July 27th, when Newcastle take on the Bhoys (7.45pm kick-off).

Whitby and AZ then do battle 24 hours later, with the competition coming to a close the following day, when a third-place play-off (1.30pm kick-off) will precede the final.

Tickets for each game are priced at £10 for adults, £6 for concessions and £3 for children. They can be purchased now via Whitby's official website.
