This game acts as the traditional curtain-raiser to the season as FAI Umbro Intermediate Cup holders Crumlin meet Sheriff, who are the holders of the FAI Junior Cup in Association with Aviva and Umbro.
Leinster Senior League side Crumlin beat Liffey Wanderers 2-0 in last year's game and their manager Martin Loughran is looking forward to taking on their AUL counterparts.
"It's a good opener to the competitive sides of things for us," said Loughran.
"I feel it provides a good measure of where you are. We played Liffey last year and it was a great start to season for us.
"Sheriff are one of the top sides in the country as they in winning five trophies last season. I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure they are too. It gives us a chance to measure where we are fitness wise. We won the Manortown tournament recently so hopefully it'll stand to us."
Crumlin will be without Amateur international Noel Murray who is on holidays but David Meehan returns after a spell out of the game while recent signings Stephen Conlon (Bangor), Gary Murphy (Firhouse Clover), Stephen Larkin (Sheriff), Sean Burke (Cabinteely), Daniel Kelly ( St Pat's CY), Patrick Cannon (Tolka Rovers) are all included.
Sheriff YC boss Alan Reilly sees this encounter as one for both sides to show the Dublin public the quality that the best amateur sides in the country can produce.
"It's a game to look forward to. The FAI Junior Cup holders and the FAI Intermediate champions going head to head. We know how good both sides can be on their day and there is huge respect for each other," said Reilly.
"People want to see a game like this. They are two very strong sides and hopefully the crowd will come out to see two of the top amateur teams around face each other."
Sheriff YC have a full squad to choose from with new signings Philip Hand (Killester) and Anto Murphy (Bohemians) available for selection.
