In the past two weeks, Hanwood has picked up convincing wins over Leeton United and Cootamundra and will return home this week for the first time in three weeks when they take on South Wagga.
Johane Oberholzer has found top form in recent weeks with three goals against Leeton while Airlee Savage scored twice and Tara Ceccato and Georgia Salvestro found the back of the net once in a 7-1 win.
They then back it up with a convincing 11-0 win over Cootamundra.
Coach Anthony Zuccato is pleased with the way his side is progressing after the first six rounds of the season.
" For this time of the year, I am happy with how we are progressing everything is really starting to come together," he said.
"The combinations are the important thing, and we knew that would just be a matter of time, and now we have a few games under our belt, we are starting to look good.
"We just need to keep improving from there and fine-tune some stuff."

The weekend is a venture into the unknown for Hanwood as they prepare to take on a South Wagga side for the first time in their three years in the Leonard Cup.
"I don't actually know what to expect because we have never actually played them before," he said.
"Looking at the results that they have had, it should be a good game. We are heading into a bit of the unknown, which is good because it will make it interesting."
On the injury front, Hanwood will be without one of their midfielders heading into the clash.
"Imogen Zuccato has picked up an ankle injury from the weekend, so I'd be surprised if she played this weekend," he said.
"Other than that, they are all fit and healthy. Kandi (Bertoldo) has come good, she got through the last two weeks, and it is feeling better and not bothering her at all, which is good news."
Hanwood is currently sitting three points behind top of the table Tolland heading into this weekend.
The ladies game will kick off at around 11am at Hanwood Oval.
