The Blues enter the round 7 Delta Agribusiness clash at Albert Park fresh from a big win over the previously undefeated Crusaders.
However, the Rams will welcome back captain John Stephens and fellow all-rounder Daniel Rankin.
An added bonus for the Rams is the return of quick Jarrod Keelan. The rangy fast bowler returned to the side in the last match, returning excellent figures of 5/49 against Mimosa.
The Blues' season has been a bit of a mixed bag. They have lost to the Coyotes and the Crusaders. They defeated Central and the Crusaders, while in round 3 they played a tie against Mimosa. The umpire for this match is Pat Kerin.
Elsewhere, the Crusaders will be keen to bounce back as travel to Nixon Park to take on Mimosa.
The Crusaders will welcome back Darren Connell and Dean Bradley, who were unavailable last Saturday. While the Crusaders are competition leaders, Mimosa is the dark horse of the competition.
After having the bye in round 1 and forfeiting their round 2 match against the Crusaders, the Temora boys have struck a bit of a purple patch.
