Nottingham Forest and Derby County and are set for another epic encounter.

But this time the massive East Midlands footballing rivals will be battling it out on the golf course!

For the first time in the rivals' history, the Rams and Forest will leave the pitch to walk onto the fairways to compete on The Belfry's world renowned Ryder Cup Championship course - the Brabazon - for the East Midlands Challenge Cup.

Fifteen teams of four representing each club will wear club colours and badges as they swing into action at The Belfry on March 18 2008

Legends from both clubs will also be part of the action in a competition that will culminate in a star-studded Gala Dinner.

Steve Prescott, Corporate Sales Manager at Nottingham Forest says "What a fantastic opportunity for Forest's Corporate Clients to represent Forest against their fierce local rivals. With local 'Bragging Rights' at stake it is sure to be a magical day that will create some lifelong memories."

The day and evening Gala event promises to be both competitive and hugely enjoyable as the East Midlands' big two create history on the golf course.
