The day will kick off at 10am with the under 14s match followed by the 16s (11.20am), 18s (12.40pm) and the First Grade rounds off proceedings at 2pm.
Castlereagh are yet to win a match in the under 14s whereas Woodbridge put in their best performance this season last Saturday when they defeated the Goannas and will look to keep that good form rolling on Sunday.
The under 16s game will see a clash between two undefeated teams with Castlereagh being the big improvers from season 2019.
Woodbridge have the slightly better form on the board but this should be nullified by Castlereagh having the home ground advantage.
In the under 18s match Woodbridge will be looking to put last Saturdays' big loss against the Goannas behind them although it won't be any easier at Dunedoo as the Cougars have already shown their capabilities this season with a round one victory over the Goannas.
The Woodbridge First Grade team will look to get back into the winners circle on Sunday against an Cougars outfit who have suffered big losses at the hands of the Goannas (Dubbo) and the Vipers (Orange) with their third game being a COVID related forfeit to the Platypi (Bathurst).
Last Saturday at Spooner Oval Forbes the Woodbridge and Wiradjuri Goannas shared the spoils with the former taking out the two younger age groups and the latter the under 18s and First Grade.
Although the matches were played under grey skies fortunately the forecast rain did not eventuate.
The Woodbridge under 14s looked far more organised than their first two outings of the season and their 24-8 win over the Goannas could be considered an upset especially when you take into account the 16 point margin.
The under 16s clash was a spirited affair but Woodbridge again showed their class running out 34-12 winners against a Goannas team who were led by their lock forward who was everywhere in attack and defence.
In the under 18s match the Goannas were big winners over Woodbridge 46-6 with three of their early tries coming from pin-point grubber kicks.
After winning their first two games of the season the Woodbridge under 18s looked out of sorts and they failed to handle the Goannas fast moving attack.
The First Grade game saw the Goannas rush out to a 16 nil lead and it appeared that a blowout could be on the cards however Woodbridge came back and actually finished the stronger of the two teams.
The final score line was 20-8 to the Goannas after they put on a four pointer in the dying minutes.
This was an entertaining affair played with plenty of passion as evidenced by the sin binning of two Woodbridge players and one Goannas player resulting in at one stage twelve playing eleven.
