The Irish lads will be playing two matches in consecutive evenings at Springfield, against a Jersey’s Youth XI and then a Senior Island XI.
Jersey manager Dave Kennedy is delighted with the games and he hopes a few more will be arranged this season.
Kennedy said: ‘While Guernsey may appear to be short of Island matches our programme is coming together well.
‘We are starting to focus hard on retaining the Muratti Vase and all the build-up this year will be towards the semi-final in Alderney in March and, if we’re successful, the final at Springfield in May.
‘Friendlies are excellent preparation; they also allow us to play strong sides against the professional clubs while looking at the younger players and those on the fringe of the Island side when we face Northern Ireland U18s.
‘I have 25 players getting together at Fort Regent on Sunday and we will be letting them know what we plan to do ahead of the Muratti.’
Kennedy is hoping to secure another fixture after the Cimandis Muratti semi-final on Saturday 8 March while also taking in a game in France, possibly at Mondeville or En Avant Guingamp, as Jersey have good contacts at both clubs.
The friendly match against Premier League club Reading’s reserves has been confirmed for Springfield, Saturday, 2 February.
