Steve McCanna, Dean Spratt, Mick Duncan, Jack Gilbert and Arch Cullen will all be unavailable for the match, heaping a huge amount of responsibility onto the youngsters.
"They'll be fine, but without that senior leadership, especially over there when they're big and physical, I think that we'll certainly have our backs against the wall," Cullen explained.
Cullen told The Area News his aim is to keep the score in check, rather than win the contest. If the percentage works for his side, they are already looking at a home final.
"It is what it is, we're understaffed and that's how it goes," he said.
"If we get the home final, we've achieved what we were looking to do."
Last time the sides met, the Demons clinched a late victory, 84 to 78.
