O’Hara injured his ankle against Wodonga a month ago amid initial fears he would miss the season.

The sweet-kicking left-footer had suffered ligament damage, ruling him out for at least a month.

O’Hara is the only change from the team which toppled Wodonga Raiders by 22 points in the wet conditions last Saturday, with Jim Grills unavailable with polocrosee commitments overseas.

As expected, Yarrawonga has named key defender Logan Morey in a massive boost for the chances of an upset against the undefeated Tigers.

The 22-year-old didn’t enjoy his time at Essendon District League outfit, Strathmore.

Meanwhile, Wangaratta has named Doug Strang Medal favourite Michael Newton for its home blockbuster against Wodonga Raiders.

The Pies replaced Raiders in second spot after posting a four-goal win over Lavington.

Raiders have retained the same team, although there’s speculation Jackson Kelly will move from the emergency list to play.

It will be a case of third time lucky for North Albury’s Shaun Mannagh in the home game against Myrtleford.

Mannagh was named for the Corowa-Rutherglen match a fortnight ago, but was ruled out at 7pm on the Friday night due to VFL commitments.

He was also named as an emergency for the Hoppers last week and was set to play until Richmond called him in again on Friday afternoon.

Richmond has the bye this weekend.

Mannagh will join Dan Leslie in the team, while Dylan Hartin’s season is over after he damaged ankle ligaments.

Myrtleford has recalled Luke Quirk and Elijah Wales from injury and the VFL respectively.

Elsewhere, Wodonga has debutants Oscar Willding and Joel O’Reilly against Lavington, which has a newcomer in Elijah Amery.
