BLACKBURN HAWKS entertain the dubiously-named 'Spartak Durham' in a Challenge match at the Arena on Sunday.
"Spartak is made up of a mixture of highly experienced former players and a number of our local lads," said coach Bobby Haig. "We played them last year and beat them quite handsomely so they'll be out for a wee bit of revenge.
"Games like these offer the chance to have a work out, experiment with a few things and give some of the younger players a go - all in all they're very worthwhile."
The Hawks will be without Chris Black and Neil Haworth who is suspended.
The doors of the Arena open at 5.15pm on Sunday, with the face-off at 6pm.
