Leeton will take on Griffith in the women's grand final on Saturday in West Wyalong and, while the latter have been the yardstick this season, the Eagles are confident they can come away with the silverware.
The women's team sealed their spot in the grand final almost a fortnight ago with a victory over West Wyalong.
Last weekend was a designated week off before the final, with women's coach Josh Clyne saying it came at a good time.

"We had a couple of niggling injuries, so it game the girls time to get over that and prepare for this weekend," he said.
The Eagles will have two big outs for the final, with both Jane O'Garey and Tiah Gillespie unavailable to play.
However, Clyne is confident Leeton has the depth to cover the pair.
The side had a training run on Wednesday night, with a final session focusing on shooting to be held on Friday evening.
The Eagles have enjoyed a solid MIA League season in 2019 and are ready to end the year on a high note.
"We're certainly going over there to be competitive and to win," Clyne said.
"We believe we can win.
"We've changed our game around a bit compared to last year and it seems to have worked well for the girls."
With the game to be played on neutral turf in West Wyalong, the team is hopeful their fans will make the trek along to support them.
The men's final will be between West Wyalong and Griffith.
