“These friendly fixtures will see us give some fringe first team players a go and see how they are progressing. With games like these it’s the performance that’s important and players will be looking to impress as they want to be in the side when we play our first league game.

“It’s has been a while since we have played with scrums and mauls so there will be some getting to used to that side of the game again, but the boys can’t wait to get stuck into the upcoming season.”

Peterborough Lions start their Midlands Division One season at Dronfield.
