Against Nathalia they had an even record this season, winning their first match away in April by 69 points while going down by 27 points in their last match-up at Hardinge St Oval while missing some key players.
The side will be keen to go one better than last season, after making the under-14s grand final but going down by 21 points to Cobram.
The club’s other sides will all play Sunday.
The under-13s and under-17s netball teams both play from 9.30am.
The under-13s, who finished fourth, take on Mulwala while the fifth placed under-17s will meet Rumbalara on the court.

They have shown their quality, as the first Rams under-13s netballers to make finals in six years.
They beat Mulwala by nine goals two rounds ago, but also are aware of their strength after going down to them by one goal away earlier in the year.
The under-17s - who finished the season with nine wins, eight losses and one draw - also face a close elimination final match-up.
In the home-and-away season they met Rumba only once, and lost by eight goals at Hardinge St oval.

The thirds footballers take to the oval from 10.45am Sunday, against Echuca United.
The Rams have had eleven wins, six losses and one draw for the season.
They face a tough challenge against the Eagles, who won both their clashes with the Rams this year - by 16 and 37 points respectively.
But with a few added inclusions and coming off two good wins in a row, the Rams will be out to show they’re peaking at the right time.
