The Blues play a behind-closed-doors game at a Championship side tomorrow before the traditional clash against the Hawks at Westleigh Park takes place on Saturday.
Triallists will feature prominently in both of those matches.

The Pompey head coach said: ‘We've had one or two that left us at the end of last week or one or two that have joined.
‘At the moment, there are some triallists in and it'll be good to see them play some games.
‘On the back of that, we'll make some intelligent decisions.’

Hide AdCowley's summer recruitment drive continues after signing four players so far.
And although he knows Pompey require reinforcements, he's prepared to wait until the right targets to become available.
‘We know we've got a lot to do in terms of recruitment and we're working hard on that every single day,' added Cowley.
‘What we won't do is sign players who aren't good enough to take this club to where we want it to go.
‘We know the level very well and know what the people of Portsmouth want from their players and teams.
‘We're clear in the way we want to play and have got to get the players who can fit all that.’
