The Hay side has made a successful return to the first-grade competition, having picked up wins over Yanco-Wamoon and TLU Sharks in recent weeks to see the Magpies fly up to the fifth position before they fell to Yenda last weekend.
The Panthers had a hit and miss start to the season before picking up back-to-back wins of the Hawks and Sharks, and with a healthy points differential, is in the box seat in the battle for third as it stands.
The Magpies will be looking to replicate the performance from the last time they took on the Panthers in first grade at Solar Mad Stadium when they picked up a surprise victory in 2019.
Meanwhile, the Blueheelers will be looking to follow on from their first win of the season when they take on TLU Sharks.

The Mallee Men have also endured a tough start to the season with one win from their first five games and are locked in a battle with TLU and Yenda for the fifth position.
The clash between the Hawks and the Mallee Men will kick off at 2.15pm, while the other two games will get underway at around 2.35pm on Sunday.
