"I’ll be putting a strong line-up out for tonight's game with a view to our first league match at Swindon a week on Saturday. I'm almost sure of the line up for that game and will use tonight's friendly and Saturday's against Hendon to increase our sharpness" says manager Gary Norton.

"We have done a lot of fitness work and now it's all about stamina and match fitness.

"This will be our only pre-season away game and I'm looking forward to it. Many of my family and friends are Albion fans, but I hope they are on my side tonight."

Gresley will be without Richard Wardle who is away on holiday and defender Matt Smith due to illness.

Andy Bourne looks set to have an extended run-out.

Norton will be playing triallists Jamie Blastland, Tom Williams and Shaun Kidson in tomorrow night's reserve friendly against Newmount Rovers at the Moat Ground, 7.30pm.

New signing defender John Williamson, although training, is still not back to full fitness.
