The under 14 Buckley Shield game will feature South Campus against Chifley College while at 4pm the open's game will see Dubbo Senior College also against Chifley.

According to coach Craig May, both Dubbo teams are hoping for a big crowd support to give them a vocal home ground advantage.

"The Uni Shield clash is one that many have wanted to see since both schools became colleges in 2002," the coach of both Dubbo teams said.

"Both have strong records in the Uni Shield with Chifley in recent years having featured in two finals and several semi-final appearances.

"Chifley then went into the Elite Schools competition for three years in preference to the Uni Shield where they were competitive against the State's sporting high schools.

"This year they are back in the Uni Shield and in the lead-up games to today have been strong.

"The team is made up of the cream of talent from the Penrith and Mount Druitt areas with many players having played in junior representative teams.

"Feedback suggests they will have a big side that have intimidated many opponents including traditional league powerhouse Terra Sanca College by 28-0 and in the Sydney final beat Colyton High 24-4. They also beat Brisbane Waters College 48-18 and Tuggerah Lakes College 28-18.

"We're expecting a touch match."

May, however said Dubbo College will go into the match full of confidence after their strong Country Cup win but aware of the need to again step up their performance.

"Against Griffith High, we struggled to contain the size of their forwards and they will be confronted with a similar pack from Chifley," May said.

"Just how many of the team shape up after the Group 11 under 18 local derby between Macquarie and CYMS last Sunday could have a vital bearing on the result. This match has a real City versus Country feel about it."

The under 14 mach will be a real test for the Dubbo College South Campus team which will again be up against a big side that has dominated the Sydney West region.

Along the way Chifley defeated Rooty Hill High 38-6, Merrylands 38-8 and Colyton 48-0.

Craig May said the respective forward packs could again be the area to decide the match.

"If Dubbo South can contain Chifley's big men and get good go forward, we will be a big chance," the coach said.

"If this happens then our captain Swade Dunn will have the opportunity to create opportunities for talented outside backs Mitchell Stageman, Daniel Wirth and Jai Dunn."

The winner of this match will take on the winner of South Coast Region versus Sydney East Region.
