"We have a lot to play for this year as we won the cup last year with four wins out of five games, with plus 65 shots," Albury and District team manager Lloyd Ronan said.

"No doubt the other districts will be out for blood this weekend. I am feeling quite confident though as we have a very strong side again."

Albury and District opens its 2019 Presidents Cup campaign against Southern Highlands, with two more games to follow on Saturday against South Western and Wagga.

Sunday sees the Border outfit take on Southern Slopes, before its final clash against Riverina.
