Cale has named a strong line-up to play Central Coast with Southcity having five players in the squad.
Thunder trio Andrew and David Cowhan and Ben Jeffery made the cut.
“I’m looking forward to going up a tier,” Cale said.
“There is a high belief among the players that we will compete very well at this level and they’re looking forward to the challenge.”
Group 9 players dominate the squad after they defeated Group 20 in the Maurie Kelly Cup at Griffith.
Gundagai’s Cameron Woo and Southcity coach Nick Skinner were ruled out due to injury.
The Riverina team is: A and D. Cowhan, B. Jeffery (Albury), G. Dumbrell, T. Jackson (Yanco-Wamoon), D. Foley (Junee), H. Jeans, J. Lyons, K. McCarthy, U. O’Sullivan, N. Rose (Southcity), P. Latu and J. Luff (Gundagai), K. Leilei, M. Leilei (Griffith Waratahs), B. Pike (Leeton), M. Wakefield (Hay).
