A competition-wide bye allowed all of the premier division squads to pause for reflection on their respective early form this season, meaning a few tweaks to strategy may be on show across the region.
At the Cobram Showgrounds the reigning premier will host Barooga in a rivalry clash, with bragging rights as well as a likely perch atop the ladder.
The Tigers will look to master-blaster Wian Van Zyl to lead the way, with the South African import averaging 112 in his first two knocks of the season.
Adam De Cicco's only innings of the campaign produced an unbeaten 68 and he will be hard to stop if he gets going as well.
The Hawks have been lethal with ball in hand - meaning their batsmen have not been required to do any heavy lifting as yet - but Daniel Ellis has 82 runs from two knocks without being dismissed and Jamie Stanyer hit 27 last round.
Barooga's Riley Gow leads all-comers with the ball, snaring six wickets at 6.83, while teammate Kale Watkins, Van Zyl and De Cicco all have three poles.
Also on the cards for all players involved is a possible audition for the upcoming Goulburn Valley Bush Bash League draft.
The GVBBL will host its inaugural squad selection night on December 1, with Barooga's Matt Jaensch taking up the mantle as one of the four coaches of the fledgling franchises in the competition.
The other clash in Cobram tomorrow will be staged at Scott Reserve between Cobram-Yarroweyah United and Nathalia.
The combine posted a large total against Deniliquin last match as Kieran Andrew hit 87, but could not reel in the required 283 runs for victory.
Nathalia also went down last round, tasting a four-wicket defeat against Katamatite.
Deniliquin will host Tocumwal in the final contest of round four, with the Bloods looking for their first points of the season and the Rhinos attempting to shore up a top four spot.
