After going winless for almost one and half seasons, the Reddies come into the clash with the Boiled Lollies on the back of two wins.

They got the better of Griffith and Albury in the two weeks before the double general bye, but face a tougher test against their cross town rivals.

While both of CSU’s wins have been away from home, the club is looking forward to putting in a strong performance from their home base against a top five team at Beres Ellwood Oval.

Centre Billy Boys is hopeful their strong run can continue.

“We are hopeful and confident going in,” Boys said.

“We just have to play our style of footy, but City are a very tough team and very competitive so hopefully we can come out with a win.”

CSU suffered a number of close losses before finally breaking through and now there is a new feeling within the club.

Boys believes the confidence picked up from the wins has made a world of difference.

“We’ve got that winning feeling back and we’re very motivated and supportive of each other,” he said.

“We are getting around each other more and very confident in what we can do.

“We know we have the ability to win, it is just a matter of showing our skills and talent.”

In a testament to how tight it is in the race for the Southern Inland finals, CSU can move into the top five if results go their way on Saturday.

Courtesy of the back-to-back wins, the seventh placed Reddies are only four points behind fourth placed Wagga City.

A bonus point win would see them jump ahead however they need a 48-point turnaround from the last time the two teams met.

Wagga City scored a 48-0 victory in round two.

They will also get the services of James Curgenven back.

After switching back from a failed attempt at rugby league, the Englishman has been named in the fullback role he really made his own during the Boiled Lollies run to the grand final last season.

CSU are also looking for a strong performance as they look to raise funds for Headspace.

Both the women’s sevens and first grade teams will wear special jumpers for the clash.

Sevens player Brittney Bedford said the club want to help the youth mental health advocacy service after a number of players had benefited from it.

“A few of our players have used the facilities of Wagga and have been very supportive of our players,” Bedford said.

“I think a lot of younger society suffer from mental health so it is a big issue that we are trying to tackle.”
