Both sides are shaping as strong finals contenders and will hope to get one up on the opposition this weekend.

Both have struggled in the opening two Horsham District league rounds, with the Storm focusing on a new style of football while the Saints have been slow to get out of the blocks. 

Saints coach Michael Rowe said he was happy with where his team was at. 

“There had been a build-up to where we want to be,” he said.

“The Storm will be a good test for us.

“This game will be a good indication of where we are at.”

All of the focus will be on starting the game strongly for Rowe and his side. 

“We will need to make sure the boys are ready to go right from the first bounce,” he said. 

“I have confidence in them that they will hit the ground running.

“I think in the last couple of games, we expected to win – but in this one, they will know they will have to be turned on right from the start.” 

Rowe is looking for an even contribution across the ground. 

“Our two forward targets have been great so far. It will be important to get the ball into George Walker, who has kicked 14 goals (in two games),” he said. 

“They have some good goalscorers and we will look to shut them down.”

John Butler and Lewis Thompson will miss the round three game.
