Both Lynn Reserves' Steve Lilley and Downham Town's Wayne Anderson experience their first games managing their respective clubs in a pre-season friendly at The Walks tomorrow.
Lilley said of the Reserves' wide player Matty Calvert, who has joined from Downham: "I worked with him when he was a lot younger, and he's got the right attitude."
Lilley has also taken on Downham U18's Ben Coe and Lewis Osborne.
Lilley added: "I can't wait for the game."
Anderson said: "I've basically got a squad of 25-29 as the Res-erve team has no manager yet. The game should be interesting.
"(Experienced striker) Simon Bush and Danny Foulsham (23), a striker who was at Wisbech Town last season, are coming down.
"I've got a few experienced heads plus a few good youngsters."
On Saturday, a touring team from Blackpool, Wyre FC, visit Fakenham Town at Clipbush Park.
At 2pm, the U16's will face each other, and 4pm the first teams meet.
Other Ghosts friendlies: Tuesday, July 22, home Lynn Reserves, 7.45pm; Tuesday, July 29, home Sheringham, 7.30pm.
Tuesday, August 5, away Cromer, 7.30pm.
