In other Farrer League draw changes, The Rock-Yerong Creek and Temora will now play on Anzac Day.
The game was originally set down for Sunday April 26 but the clubs have agreed to play on Saturday April 25.
East Wagga-Kooringal and North Wagga is the only other round three fixture on Anzac Day (Barellan v Coleambally and Marrar v Northern Jets will be played on the Sunday).
Meanwhile, the Hawks are just over a week away from ramping up their pre-season preparations.
They'll play Hume League club Lockhart in a practice match on the first weekend in March and are also set to play Riverina League finalists Coolamon on March 20.
