“They’ve been a bogey team for us the past few years,” vice-captain Mitch Purcell said.
“We’ve never beaten them.”

Delatite is now in its third season of Wangaratta and District.
The club played finals in its debut year, but suffered a 103-run loss to Rovers United Bruck.
It might then have been a case of the second season syndrome as Delatite finished second-last with only two wins.
But the team has bounced back to sit in fourth position following successive victories.
Patrick Marks cracked an unbeaten 87 against Wangaratta last week to sit sixth on the run-scorer’s list.
Marks doesn’t actually have an average as he hasn’t been dismissed yet.
The visitors will need to contain the classy Kayde Surrey, who’s averaging 53.5.
Beechworth is one of three unbeaten teams.
And the other two tackle winless outfits.
Ladder leaders, Yarrawonga Mulwala, host Ovens Valley United and City Colts meet the Magpies, while Rovers are home to Greta.
