The Hanwood Football Club is hoping for a sixth straight win, in their next game against Wagga United

Going up against Wagga United this week marks the third of four straight away games, which coach Brian Bertolin says could pose an issue.

"It's probably the biggest challenge we've got. We've got four straight 'away' games heading to Wagga so the grind is a challenge. Obviously, the back end of the season we'll get those back."

The other possible problem will be the lack of Daniel Johnson, who's been suspended for a week after three yellow cards. It's particularly galling, as Johnson scored three of the four goals in last week's game.

Taking up the slack for him will be Joe Schirripa, a solid player for the team.

Bertolin is eager to ensure that the team doesn't get cocky after their wins, but admits that it's definitely a factor.

"From a player's point of view even subconsciously, you can get a bit complacent so it's a matter of preparing ... I know they had a close game against Leeton. We're not going into it lightly."

He also mentioned the team struggled against the rain last night, having to cancel training ahead of the game. They'll be training tomorrow night though, brushing up ahead of their possible defining match against Wagga.

The game against Wagga United is set to take place at Rawlings Park on Sunday. South Wagga is currently sixth on the ladder.
