Luke Grady and Archer Scammell are both getting experience in the Provincial first grade competition this year after stepping up from the club's under-16s.

While Scammell tested the waters in the competition last season, it's Grady's first time playing in the senior ranks.

Wodonga captain Tom Johnson admitted it was pleasing to see the club developing it's young talent for the future.

"With the end of COVID everyone wants to get away when they can, so it's been good in one sense that the young boys have been able to come up and have some experience at that level," Johnson said.

"They're looking good.

"They still have some work to be able to get to that level, but they're all very capable of doing it.

"It's been good for the young players to have a look at new things and different positions."

Youngster Michael Grohnman has also stepped up for the side, while Murray Price has joined the maroon outfit.

It's Price's first year at the club after swapping from District cricket side Barnawartha/Chiltern.

"He (Price) has been handy with the loss of Jack Craig," Johnson said.

"He's stepped up into the spin role and has done really well for us."

Last years' premiers currently sit eighth in the competition this season after nine rounds.

After battling the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Johnson said his side is still eyeing off where they'd like to be.

"Once we've got all of our players playing regular games and have a bit more continuity in the team we'll be fine," he said.

"We just need to get our team playing together.

"For now we'll keep battling as best we can."

Wodonga will take on Tallangatta at Rowen Park this weekend.

The home side is coming off the back of a loss to New City and St Patrick's last weekend, while Wodonga also fell to St Patrick's and Albury.

"Any team can beat any other team on their day," Johnson said.

"It's been interesting to see the teams that were in the lower five last year are quite easily playing the top three to top four teams.

"It's good for the competition."

North Albury are the current ladder leaders, followed by East Albury, St Patrick's, Albury, Corowa and Belvoir to round out the top six.

Other round 10 matches on Saturday will see New City take on Corowa, Lavington clash with East Albury, Albury to host Wodonga Raiders and St Patrick's to clash with Belvoir.

North Albury has the week off.
