The Greens are also the current holders of the Fiumara Cup, having won the last derby played in 2019.
Meanwhile, for the Hawks, they will be looking to keep tabs with the top five and rebound from a loss at home to Yenda last time out.
The Hawks will be without coach Kane Hammond for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury which will be a huge loss for the side.
