The Albury-Wodonga Spitfires weren't scheduled to play today or this time next week, following the announcement of another seven-day snap lockdown for Victoria on Thursday, but are set to finish their Capital League campaign with a double-header.
Hockey Albury-Wodonga operations manager Cayte Campbell said the plan was to host Wests at Albury Hockey Centre on Saturday, August 21, before ANU travels to face the Border side on Sunday, August 22.
"Restrictions permitted, those games will be going ahead," Campbell said.
"Wests will definitely come down as they will be wanting to consolidate their position in the top four and ANU want to come down as well.

"If there's no restrictions, we'll be all good, we just have to get to there."
Meanwhile, Hockey Albury-Wodonga matches will not go ahead due to the lockdown, with the association's board set to meet next week, likely by Zoom, to discuss plans on how the season will progress from here.
"It's problematic if the season ends as the school holidays start as that makes a difference to people's availability," Campbell added.
The division one women's ladder is all but set with a minimum of six points between each of the five clubs.
However, Wombats are ahead on goal difference in fourth spot on the men's ladder, with Magpies equal on points in fifth and Falcons one further back in sixth.
