The Bulls took a 67-run win when the two sides met to start the season and both teams lost their only other match so far last week.

Lake Albert captain Isaac Cooper is chasing a much improved performance after a 92-run loss to Wagga RSL last week.

"Fielding definitely let us down and then we didn't apply ourselves in the back end with the bat," Cooper said.

"Being 3-70 we just have to be better with the bat.

"There is so we should have been bowled out there is definitely an emphasis to be better with the bat and definitely in the field."

Despite limited opportunities to play this season, Cooper believes it's an important match to bank heading towards Christmas.

"It's been a bit of a stop-start season, but this one we've identified as a key game leading into Christmas and for the outcome of the season," he said. "We definitely need to turn up this week."

Lake Albert have made one change to their line up with Beau Edmunds to make his first grade debut after impressing in the lower grades.

Edmunds made 34 in second grade last week to really elevate himself while Rowan Hoare comes out of the side.
