The Crows will take on Hume League side Lockhart at home at the Leeton Showground on Saturday.
It’s the second time in as many weeks that the Crows outfit will line up for a trial match before the season proper kicks off after the Easter break.
Last weekend the Crows played Farrer League three-time premiership winning side Temora at Nixon Park.
The Crows were defeated by the Kangaroos 14.8 (92) to 5.5 (35).
Temora set the game up strongly, kicking eight goals to Leeton-Whitton’s one in the first half.
The Crows will be hoping to turn that form around when they take on the Demons on Saturday.
It has been a solid off-season for Leeton-Whitton, with plenty of players turning up for pre-season training.
The first grade ranks have also been given a boost, with the club picking up former Crows juniors Toby Conroy and Mitch Heaslip.
The pair will be joined by their now past Queanbeyan teammates Neil Irwin, Michael Wescombe and Cam Griggs.
Brad Boots is also returning to the Crows, while Dan Delaney from Werribee signed on at the end of last year.
Senior player Bryce O’Garey has also signed on with the club for three more seasons.
