The club are set to send a Hartlepool United XI, overseen by academy manager Ian McGuckin, to the Northern League Division Two outfit this weekend.
It promises to be a memorable occasion for FC Hartlepool and is set to be watched by around 2,000 spectators.
From Pools’ point of view, it will enable Sarll to evaluate a variety of trialists and youth players. It’s unlikely that any members of the starting squad will take part.
“It will be heavily trialist and academy based,” Sarll said.
“There’s some young players from last year that have been brought back in for me to assess.
“I’m always happy to do that, they’re young people and we need to give them a proper week’s training with the senior team and then watch them play.
“We’ve been working through a process with certain games and trialists throughout the summer.
“In terms of narrowing down the possibilities that are available, we’re certainly nearing the end.
“Ian McGuckin will lead from the touchline, which is great for us because he’s very good.”
