Holbrook face the unenviable task of putting a stop to the Culcairn juggernaut, while Henty will take on The Rock Yerong Creek at home.
Henty captain Chris Manns said putting pressure on the TRYC middle order would be key to their success.
“They’ve got a couple of really solid batsmen in their top order, but we think if we’re able to get them out of the way early we should be able to get them out pretty cheaply,” Manns said.
“We’re feeling really confident, hopefully we can put it to good use.”
That confidence is well placed, after Henty smashed Holbrook outright last weekend.
Left-arm quick Dave White took 9-28 across two innings in the field to decimate Holbrook’s batting, with Henty needing just one crack at the crease to seal victory.
Manns said there was still some work to do if they hoped to go a step further and claim the premiership.
“We’re not 100 per cent there yet, we know that in our own line-up there’s some work to do,” Manns said.
“Players like Tim Tilpz are due for a good score, he’s one who got off to a strong start early in the season and has been a little bit flat lately.”
