He said: “We are really looking forward to it, it’s been a decent pre-season of training. They are doing 45 minutes each as it’s their first game. Just integrating them and getting them into the shape we want to play.

“Fitness is the most important thing but we are also trying to look for a bit of quality from them as well.”

They then travel the even-shorter distance across town to Jubilee Field to play Three Bridges on Tuesday, July 12, kick-off 7.45pm.
