The sides were due to play in last year's grand final after they didn't meet in the regular season, but the COVID pandemic forced the cancellation of the season just before the decider.

After completely dominating the eight-team league this year, the unbeaten teams have had to wait until their final round clash on Wednesday night at Apex Park to play each other, before the grand final eight days later.

It's an odd situation which has both coaches analysing how to approach this week's game before they play for all the marbles on Easter Thursday.

North Wagga warmed up with a 4.7 (31) to 0.0 (0) win over Brookdale on Friday, while CSU also kept Griffith goalless in a 9.6 (60) to 0.3 (3) victory.

"I've thought about it for a while and we're not going to hold back, we're looking to get a real good blowout and the girls will grow from that game," North Wagga coach Nathan Dowdle said.

"I haven't been in this situation before in my footy career, knowing you have to play the same side the next week in the grand final.

"Spectacle-wise it's a chance to show the best of the best of our women around here, which is pretty cool in that sense.

CSU coach Sam Barrow said they won't take any chances in the lead-up to the decider, but also want a solid hit-out this week.

"If players have even a niggling injury I'll be telling them not to risk it (this week)," Barrow said.

"It's been going through my mind do we go full on this week. The players are looking forward to it, they're excited for the chance to see what we can do."

The clashes promise to be a battle of defences, with both teams conceding an average of less than a goal per game.

In other penultimate round matches on Friday third-placed Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong outclassed Narrandera 11.15 (81) to 0.0 (0) and East Wagga-Kooringal was too good for Collingullie-Glenfield Park 11.6 (72) to 0.3 (3).
