Rain is forecast for Friday, but Saturday is expected to be fine, meaning chances of getting on the pitch are more likely than in previous weeks.
Last week rain threatened the Twenty20 fixtures, but after being moved from Narrandera to Mark Taylor Oval where covers protected the pitch, one match went ahead between the Carpheads and Ferrets while the Colts forfeited their game against Yanco.
The Leeton District Cricket Association will therefore be hoping the weather doesn't intervene this weekend and sides are locked and loaded for more consistent play.

The games return to the 40-over format, with the LSC Colts set to take on Narrandera at Mark Taylor Oval, while the Yanco Stags are ready to clash with the L&D CC Ferrets at Yanco Sportsground.
The race to the finals is becoming much closer as it always does after the Christmas and New Year, with all teams certainly wanting to pick up vital wins this weekend.
The Colts especially will be looking forward to getting back to their winning ways after they were undefeated before the break, but have since lost one match and forfeited another. Games start on Saturday from 1pm.
