Mark Yates' side will lock horns with their old Conference rivals at Bideford Town's Sports Ground (8pm).

It is the first of two matches in 48 hours for Harriers with a trip to Barnstaple Town following on Friday night.

Yates believes a bit of bonding can give Harriers that extra edge during the season.

He said: "The lads have been training very well. They had a good session under their belts yesterday and had a dip in the sea, rather than a nice bath.

"The tranquil surroundings of Devon show that it's just nice to get the lads away. Getting to know each other as people – as well as players – is important.

"This sort of pre-season tour is very good for morale."

Defender Luke Jones has shaken off a knock to be fit for tonight but Mark Creighton is unlikely to be risked until their clash with Barnstaple on Friday evening.
