Rivals Exodus and Lee are mates for tonight
Derby rivals Lee Tomlin and Exodus Geohaghon are England team-mates tonight.
At the end of last season they were up against each other as Rushden & Diamonds beat Kettering Town at Nene Park.
This evening they are both part of the England C squad for their International Challenge Trophy final against Belgium at Oxford United's Kassam Stadium.
Tomlin made an impression on his international debut in Malta last February with a goal and a man-of-the-match display during the 4-0 friendly win.
Geohaghan has previously represented England away to Italy in November when a 2-2 draw booked tonight's final date.
England C manager Paul Fairclough says it has been a difficult route to a second Challenge Trophy final which started in November 2007 against Finland. But he is confident his players have the ability and the passion to lift the trophy for a second time.
"Obviously the tournament is bigger this time around and all our results have been really, really close," said Fairclough.
"Finland was a fantastic performance in terms of the pure sense of football.
"We had to stay strong to get all the points against Wales and the game in Italy was more about typical English pride and determination.
"So they were a mixture of games but all different qualities have come out in each of them and it has been quite a testing time to get to the final."
In between the group games, England were successful in their defence of the Four Nations Tournament and also had a rewarding tour of the Caribbean.
"Winning the Four Nations was a great achievement because that is almost a marathon event," said Fairclough.
"You get to the end of the tournament and the squad's on its knees because they've played a long season and then they play three games in what amounts to six days. It really was a great victory for us."
Squad: Cronin (Ebbsfleet), Bartlett (Kidderminster), Gleeson (Cambridge), Geohaghon (Kettering), Charles (Ebbsfleet), Newton (Droylsden), Densmore (Altrincham), Penn (Kidderminster), Byrom (Stevenage), Tomlin (Rushden & Diamonds), Fleming (Wrexham), Constable (Oxford), Welsh (Grays), Clayton (Alfreton), Hearn (Alfreton), Wroe (Torquay).
