Yanco-Wamoon will host the Leeton Greens on Saturday afternoon in the second derby clash of the 2021 Group 20 season.

On one hand, there's the Hawks - a side that only last weekend picked up their second win of the season.

Their goal will be to rattle the cage of Leeton, challenge the Greens and give the competition a shake up before the finals series.

Then there's the Greens - a team who has lost only one match all season. Saturday also marks Leeton's last home and away game of the year before finals as they sit next weekend out with the club bye.

Their approach will be vastly different, with coach Hayden Philp saying the team will likely rest some of their key players on the weekend.

"There's a couple who will probably sit out because we want to get them right for finals ... we've got good depth and we've been lucky enough to have that all year," he said.

"There's no doubt Yanco will be tough and a challenge for us. It's going to be a completely different game compared to the last one.

"I think they are going to come out firing."

IN OTHER NEWS:

The Greens easily accounted for the Hawks in their first match up back in round eight, where they won 62-12.

Yanco-Wamoon coach Kane Hammond said his side had improved since then and will be taking plenty of confidence from their win last weekend against TLU.

However, he's under no illusions that the Greens are the top team of the competition.

"I'm hopeful we can play well and really push them ... they are a great side, but I think our guys have plenty to play for still," Hammond said.

"Our boys will be playing hard.

"We want to focus on our game plan and be doing everything we can right.

"We're coming off the win last weekend.

"We're looking forward to this match.

"Our boys have put in a lot of hard work since the last time we played them, so hopefully it's a good, tough game."
