It is tight at the top of the table with now second-placed Hanwood and sixth-placed Tolland separated by just two points.
Coach Anthony Agresta knows his side can only worry about what is within their control.
"With Henwood Park losing some points that has put us into equal second," he said.
"Having next week off it is pretty important that we take some good form into finals if everything falls our way and we get the win this weekend.
"We just have to keep doing what we are doing."
After two strong performances against Leeton and Tolland, Hanwood were a bit flat on the weekend against Wagga United and Agresta hopes his side will be able to rediscover their form.
"The two weeks before last week were pretty good and we just have to get back to that,"
"I don't know if it was the heat or training because we did a bit of extra work last week so whether that had anything to do with it.
"It was a bit of a flat performance and after the boys had been up for a couple of weeks you expect a flat one every now and again but the good thing was that we still managed to get the result."
Agresta feels that he will have an almost full squad at his disposal with a couple of niggles around the squad following their clash last weekend.
"We will just have to see how everyone pulls up after training on Thursday," he said.
"Being the last game and having the week off next week I'm pretty sure everyone will be keen to get up for it.
"Jo is still having a bit of trouble with his back just being a bit stiff and sore. He has been getting that looked and seems like it is coming good. We will see how he goes and if he can get through tomorrow night we can make a decision from there."
Hanwood will take on Tumut at Rawlings Park One with kick off set for 3.30pm on Sunday.
