Holidays and ‘other’ leisure activities has left them short on numbers with David Hewson, Gari Rowntree, Josh Calvert, Jamie Mellen, Nathan Waterston, Scott Allison, Dan Wordsworth and Sam Joel unavailable for the annual fixture at Parkside Road.
Reds have visited their south Cumbrian neighbours in each of the past five summers, winning four and drawing once in what are usually close-fought encounters.
However, the unbeaten sequence will be put to the test for a depleted squad of eleven senior players and untested reserves, albeit a welcome opportunity for the latter.
Much of Kendal’s pre-season action has been against lower-league opposition but they came unstuck at Penrith in mid-week.
