This match features two teams living in the basement of the Northern Nsw, Valentine holding 11th place and Lake Macquarie lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
