Saints Reserves will travel to Newcastle and South Wales as they prepare for their 2017 campaign.
Ian Talbot will take his side to Newcastle on Sunday February 5 (3pm) before making the trip to South Wales a week later on February 12 (kick off TBC).
“We are all looking forward as we begin our pre-season preparations and with the two friendlies now arranged we have a focus to aim for,” Ian said. “We will travel to Newcastle and South Wales in what will be two tough challenges for the lads against League 1 opposition.
“Newcastle had a good season last year and finished with silverware after winning the League 1 shield.
“We will be going there to help Joe Brown celebrate his well-earned testimonial.
“The newly named South Wales Ironmen are looking to further develop the game and we hope to be able to assist them.
“Having seen first-hand in Regan Grace and Calvin Wellington we know there lots of talented rugby players down there.”
He continued: “The Reserves competition was a complete success for us last season with several young players stepping up.
“It also provided regular playing opportunities to fringe first team players as they returned to form or fitness.
“On the back of the success that most of the lads had in the under 19s competition it will be good to see them all play at reserves level and make the next step in the development of their careers.”
Tickets for the game against Newcastle at Kingston Park are priced at £7 for adults and £3 for under 16s.
