The Magpies and the Lilywhites will be battling it out for the Jack Kirkland Trophy when they meet this coming Friday. However, the much coveted prize is a mere footnote in what will be a game all about fitness ahead of the new season.

Team News
Due to a bout of tonsillitis Craig Morgan and Paul Coutts sat out the 6-1 demolition over Bamber Bridge. The pair are not expected to feature on Friday either and will instead have to wait before making their pre-season bow.
Much like on Tuesday night at the QED Stadium, two separate XI's are expected to feature in each half for the Lilywhites. However, due to the aforementioned absentees, one or two individuals might be asked to play the full 90.
