The fixture will take place at the 5,000 capacity Stadium Gal, based in Irun, on Saturday 28th July and will be played in honour of one of the Rams' most famous players, Steve Bloomer, who is the Rams’ all-time leading goal scorer with 331 goals in 525 games during two spells between 1891 and 1914.

He has a connection to Real Union where he was manager in 1923, during which time he guided the club to a Copa del Rey title with a 1-0 win over Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Darren Wassall’s side are the current holders of the trophy after they edged out 2-1 winners over their Spanish opponents in the first meeting back in October 2017.

Second half goals from Alex Cover and Lewis Walker sealed the victory, with their goals coming before Orbegozo’s late strike.
