Kris Rands, Jake Milnes and Jock Ward are all back to tackle the the Blues at Nixon Park.

Temora have only won once this season, against Young in round two, but Elwin didn’t think they were too far off the pace against high-flying Junee last week.

He expects the return of some key players, and not having to back up from representative duties, will be a big boost.

“We should have won but we lacked strike over one side,” Elwin said. “We were getting through them easy and if we had our full side we would have won pretty easily in the end but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.”

Tumut are coming off a win against Albury but Elwin is hoping to use the home ground advantage.

“They have been beating some good sides at Twickenham Oval but are a completely different side at home,” he said.

“Mind you they will be very good away from home as well.”
