The Isle of Man national side warmed up for their imminent National League Systems Cup first round tie with a 2-0 win over League of Wales outfit Prestatyn on Tuesday night.
On Saturday they face Midlands Combination, the side which knocked them out on penalties at the semi-final stage last season.
