Manager Glenn Ferguson will not risk any of his star names ahead of the start of the season this weekend but will field a side comprised mainly of reserve players along with a number of players with first team experience, including Mark Surgenor, who is regaining fitness after injury.

The Saturday Morning League side features a number of players from the all-conquering Harryville Homers side, along with some of the top junior footballers in this area.
