The Warriors chief executive officer David Alexander speaking to club media said: “We’re really excited for this fixture and would like to thank Ian Horswell and Jersey Bulls FC for the generous invitation to host us.

"It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to get the team and staff together ahead of the league season as well as giving our supporters a rare opportunity for a weekend away following the club”

Manager Gary Naysmith added: “The opportunity of the game against Jersey came completely out the blue but after a short discussion with the staff, players and directors we felt it was a great chance to go away as a new squad and gel and get to know each other a little bit better as well as allowing us another pre season friendly”

Tickets for the match are available to purchase for £5 via the hosts, with the Ochilview club encouraging supporters to make the trip south if they can.

You can fly to Jersey with EasyJet from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
