Bamber Bridge Vs Preston North End Match Preview

Pre-season Friendly Monday 23rd July 2012

Following Saturday's defeat to Morecambe, North End have now notched up one win, one draw and one defeat from their three pre-season outings.

The Shrimpers left Graham Westley's side red-faced thanks to a 2-0 defeat at the Globe Arena which, consequently, has left some sections of the North End faithful scratching their heads.

The Lilywhites' fourth friendly sees Graham Westley's new-look Preston side make the short trip to Iron Gate.

Brig welcome North End just days after an impressive and gutsy 1-1 draw with a Bolton Wanderers XI meaning the Lilywhites will need to have their wits about them come Monday evening.

Previous Meetings

Last year's trip to Iron Gate resulted in a 2-1 win for the Lilywhites. 

Michael McLellan and Jamie Proctor put North End 2-1 ahead following Louis Mayers' opener for the home side.

Team News

New signing Lee Trundle is a doubt after twisting his knee in the aforementioned defeat to Morecambe at the weekend.

John Welsh is also a doubt whilst David Amoo will be looking to make the starting XI.
