Both sides should come into the game fresh after the general bye last weekend.
The Warriors suffered an unexpected loss to Saints last start and will be keen to return to the winners' list on Saturday.
The Reds, meantime, had a solid win over their fellow club side, Turvey Park Blue, and will be eager to continue their winning form.
If that's to be the case, they will need to have power batters, Amanda Lenon, Kate Looney, Jamila Piercy, Jade Olsen and Belinda Dennis to produce the goods on Saturday.
In order to make it harder for the Reds, the Warriors can call on any one of four pitchers, namely Kristy Tenison, Montana Kearnes, Carmel Hutchinson or Layhnee Kearnes to restrict the runs.
Turvey Park, said to be without regular starting pitcher, Montana Duncan, will rely on Jade Olsen to fill the role, with back up from Kate Looney or Jamila Piercy.
No doubt the Reds will have another couple of youngsters in their line-up and they will be well tested playing against the best.
The depth of the Warriors batting list should see them winners again.
In the other A grade match on Saturday, Turvey Park Blue will tackle Saints.
The Saints surprised many by beating Warriors in their last match and will be brimful of confidence against the Blues.
Gemma McGlynn and Desi Calder are slowly finding consistency with the bat and in support of the likes of Kadison Hofert, Rochelle Harley and Tessa McGlynn, should give the Turvey fielders some work to do.
The Blues will have to have pitcher, Paris Hall, at her best and her fielders to make the easy outs.
Moreover the Blues will look to experienced members of the team in Jane Wadley, Nerida Bates, Sharon Hall and Amanda Gooden to find form with the bat.
Should they offer support to the younger ones who are managing safe hits, the Blues could be on course for another win.
