SWINDON Supermarine entertain Nationwide League Leyton Orient in their first official friendly of the campaign on Sunday.
Marine enjoyed a warm-up at Purton last night, but the real business begins when Ray Baverstock's men host the Division Three outfit at the weekend.
Orient's assistant manager is former Swindon Town midfielder Martin Ling a teammate of Marine boss Baverstock in the Greenbaize veterans team.
Ling agreed to bring a strong line up to Hunts Copse and Baverstock is relishing the challenge.
"We're looking forward to playing some games now," he said.
"Hopefully Martin will bring down plenty of first teamers, there will be a big crowd and we'll have a good game."
Among the new faces on parade for Marine will be new signings Justin Miller and Simon Futcher.
Striker Dave Toomey should also complete a permanent return to South Marston ahead of the game.
Chippenham aim to make it four friendlies unbeaten when they travel to Ryman League Basingstoke tomorrow.
Cirencester's scheduled game with Woking has been cancelled, but Wootton Bassett host Shrivenham at Rylands Way.
