Bridlington Town will make the northerly trip to Bishop Auckland to begin the new season with an FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round fixture this afternoon.
It comes after an overall positive pre-season schedule for the Seasiders. A 5-0 victory over Beverley Town was the perfect way to begin pre-season.
However, three incredibly tough games followed in Scarborough Athletic, Worksop Town and Hull City U21s, of which ended 5-1, 5-0 and 5-1 respectively.
Bridlington then ended pre-season with three consecutive wins: 1-0, 5-1 and 2-0 against Maltby Main, Pickering Town and Great Driffield AFC.
Four new signings could make their Bridlington Town debut on this afternoon, those being Adam Stockhill, Alex Markham, Finlay Southcoat and Max Ezard.
Pete Davidson and Jack Walters could also make their first appearances back at the club, having returned to Bridlington Town this summer.
Walters, however, has struggled with an injury this pre-season, having returned to action against Great Driffield following a set-back, only to be forced off two minutes later.
One man who won’t feature, however, is Cameron Cunningham, as the new wide-man will begin to serve his two-game suspension having been sent off in North Shields' final game of last season against Worksop Town.
The Seasiders also entered the FA Cup at the Extra Preliminary round last campaign, defeating Whitley Bay 3-1 thanks to an own goal, with Jack Yates and Lewis Dennison also getting on the scoresheet.
Two weeks later they faced Dunston in the Preliminary round. That, however, ended in a 3-0 defeat at the Hudgell Solicitor Stadium.
