THE final few names have been revealed for this Sunday's Chelmsford Chieftains 25th anniversary game.

Stuart Steeves, Tony Cimelli, Ross Jones and Rudi Dzurko will all take to the ice to celebrate the club being in existence for a quarter of a century.

Steeves holds the honour of being the first goalscorer for the Chelmsford Chieftains in a game against Peterborough Titans back in September 1987.

It set the team on the way to an 11-4 win and the first win for the new team in the old Heineken Division Two.

Cimelli is one of the highest ranked players in terms of attendance having made over 430 appearances for the Riverside club and picking up just under 1000 penalty minutes from the blueline.

He'll be looking to go through the 1000 penalty minute mark at the game.

Cimelli is still widely known and spoken about with great joy by many a fan.

Jones is another unsung hero of the Chieftains with more than 200 appearances to his name and 93 points who'll be turning out.

Starting out in 1998 for the Chieftains Jones finally left the team seven years later, despite two seasons down the A12 in Romford. Jones was one of those players who would do all the donkey work for the scoring forwards on his line and would not often be recognised for the work and effort he put in.

Completing the Legends team is a fan-favourite from recent seasons in the form of Slovakian D man Dzurko. Rarely putting too many feet wrong in defence, he was a tough and hard-nosed player, but didn't drop the gloves often.

This now completes the Legends team as follows: Ben Acquah (D), Dean Birrell (D), Craig Britton (D), Tony Cimelli (D), Andrew Clements (F/D), Darren Cotton (F), Jon Cotton (F), Phil Donovan (D), Marc Dowd (NM), Rudolf Dzurko (D), Ross Jones (F), Tom Long (F), Andy Moffat (NM), Glenn Moorhouse (D), Jaroslav 'Jerry' Pavlus (F), Darren Peries (D), Karl Rogers (F), Stuart Steeves (D), Richard Whiting (F) and Nathanial 'BT' Williams (F).

Face off is 6.30pm on 30th December at the Riverside in Chelmsford.

At the weekend the Chieftains won both their games.

In the league they smashed the Wightlink Raiders 11-1 before winning 6-1 in the cup at MK Thunder.
