The Lilywhites will face League of Ireland First Division side Cobh at St Colman's Park on Tuesday, July 17, kick-off 7pm, that coming during a training trip to the Republic of Ireland.

Then on Saturday, July 28, Alex Neil takes his side to play Oldham at Boundary Park (3pm).

The announcement of the two games completes North End's pre-season friendly programme.

It starts against Bamber Bridge at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium on Saturday, July 7.

Neil's men then travel to Mill Farm to take on AFC Fylde on July 14, with the trip to Ireland following that.

On Saturday July 21, PNE host West Ham United, then it is Premier League opposition again two days later when Burnley visit Deepdale.

The visit to Oldham - relegated to League Two in May - rounds-off their preparations, with the Championship campaign kicking-off on August 4.
