The Magpies handed United its first loss of the season last weekend, securing a memorable 61-51 victory at Memorial Oval.
It’s a win that gives the round six fixture a bit more weight, with Mooroopna eager to stay within touching distance of the top sides after a narrow loss to United, and a fairly heavy defeat to Seymour included in its last three outings.
A dominant display last time out however showed fans what this Cats side is truly capable of — dismantling Tatura 48-18.
Young gun Dayna Williams was in fine form in the Cats’ attacking half, while mid-courter Shelby Britten and defender Ashley Lancaster also look to be hitting their stride across the court.
As for Euroa, a stunning win over the premiership favourites has grabbed everyone’s attention.
The acquisition of Melbourne Vixens training partner Emily Andrew has added to an already star-studded Magpies line up, who combined brilliantly last weekend against United.
Mid-court maestro Kellie Davidson continued her blistering start to the season with another stellar showing against the Dees, with Tylah Marchbank and coach Ellie Warnock leading the side in defence.
Mooroopna shooter Elle Brooks and Williams will pose an interesting challenge for the Euroa defence on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Rochester will take on an energised Shepparton Swans side who picked up their first win of the season last weekend against Kyabram.
Echuca will be eager to atone for a loss to Seymour as it prepares to face a Shepparton side unbeaten in its last three outings.
The same goes for United, who will take on a plucky Benalla side at Deakin.
Kyabram faces a red-hot Seymour, while Mansfield will be hunting its first win of the season against Tatura in the final match-up.
