Guyra’s first grade team are preparing for a top-of-the-table clash against Easts after a week on the sidelines with a bye.
Back on home turf, Guyra are aiming to topple the ladder leaders.
The last time they faced each other was in round one where Easts snagged the points with a one wicket win.
Guyra skipper Matt Jackson is hoping to turn the tables around this Saturday.
“They are the only team we haven't beaten this year so it is a big task for us and hopefully we can put up a good show,” he said.
“The biggest thing is we need to straighten up our fielding this week and once again focus with the bat.
“We didn't drop a whole lot of catches, the biggest thing was our ground fielding was a bit poor; balls just beating players and easy runs and that sort of thing.”
While Jackson highlighted the fielding needing improvement from their last match, he believes they will have to step up across the park.
“This weekend is a big test for us because Easts are the benchmark of the competition so making sure we can get a competitive total or defend them to something competitive and give ourselves a chance in the game,” he said.
“They do have a couple of big hitters and if they get going it is about everyone keeping the lips up and staying positive in the field.
