The third and fourth-ranked teams respectively in Cricket Shepparton's top tier will battle in their whites with red leather in hand as two-day cricket returns to Mooroopna Main Oval.
The Cats will be full of confidence after knocking over Old Students for 29 last round, with tearaway quick Henry Barrow securing figures of 6-15 from his eight overs.
Longer form cricket has agreed with the outfit as well this summer, posting a combined 519 runs in the two matches it had an opportunity to bat 80 overs in.
It seems an ability to pull off the multi-layered approach to batting for a full day which most sides attempt to accomplish is holding the Cats in good stead.
The likes of Brodie McDonald, Mat Macansh and Brady Mulcahy set the platform by looking to bat until tea before big-hitters Jake Wright and Shoaib Shaikh open the shoulders and send Mooroopna's total soaring.
Brad Lowe's charges will have a task on their hands at the batting and bowling crease when looking to assert their dominance this round though, with Kyabram presenting a tough challenge in all facets of the game.
The Redbacks fell to Waaia on the final ball of the contest last round, but in Paul Newman, Kyle Mueller, Jackson McLay and Alec Young have players who can change the face of a fixture in what feels like an instant.
