The day rounds out with the hosts going up against Narrandera at 3pm.

Rankins Springs, who are yet to open their account, face the very improved Bluebirds, and it's an important game for the Dragons, who need to win because another loss will really put a big dent in their semi-final prospect because after this weekend, there will be just three rounds remaining and it could come down to other results going their way.

Co-coaches John Power and Jamie Parsons will have the Springs fired up for a big all-out effort while Hillston will be looking to lock Jock Potter, who picked up four tries against Narrandera.

At 1.30pm, joint competition leaders, Goolgowi, will start favourites but will have a fight on their hands when they face Ivanhoe, who will give the red and white a run for their money in a free-flowing contest.

The Rabbitohs have turned on some sparkling football so far and deserves to be Community Cup favourites led by co-coaches Danny Graham and Laurie Sandford.

Conrad McGinty will be the main man for the Roosters, and with some support around him from the likes of Thomas Lee, Ivanhoe will be on the pace for a long way, but I'll tip the Rabbits.

The day will round out with the surprise of the competition Barellan facing off with Narrandera, who, like the Dragons, are yet to put competition points on the board.

The Rams finished with the wooden spoon in 2019 have posted impressive victories over Rankins Springs and Ivanhoe, and are confident they can keep it going against Narrandera, with coach Ben Evans confident he has the squad to give the competition a real shake in 2021.

Narrandera is more or less in the same boat as Rankins Springs. They need competition points as far as the semi-finals are concerned, and captain-coach Troy Prior will be after standout games from Malek Lyons, Jamaine Morgan, Rowan Mathews and Wade Williams as the Lizards strive to open their account.
