The squad will depart on Sunday morning, arriving at the Slieve Donard Hotel early afternoon and have two full days of training at Donard Park in Newcastle before facing Cliftonville at the same venue on Wednesday evening.

After two more days of training it is off to Dungannon to face the Swifts at Strangmore Park and then later that night a flight home.

"Everyone is really looking forward to this week and having been on previous trips to both Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man, I know just how valuable they can be to the team," said Brian.

"Seamus Heath and the team in County Down have worked so hard on our behalf and we really do appreciate all the efforts that they put for us.

"We are very fortunate to have such good friends and we are determined to make the most of this opportunity.

"While we are looked after very well, we are there to work and it is not a holiday.

"This is all part of our plan to prepare for the new season and it will be time well spent."
