The Lions sit at the foot of the ladder without a victory to their name but on Saturday they play host to Bathurst City, a side with just one win to their name in 2016.
That single success came last month when they played host to the Lions, and the Dubbo side will be hoping for a reversal of the result this time out.
There is plenty of motivation for the Lions after two consecutive 9-1 drubbings while a win on Saturday will give the Dubbo side a glimmer of hope in their battle to avoid the wooden spoon.
If the Lions are to win, key players Matt Waters and Luke Carman will be key.
A win for Bathurst City on Saturday would open up a 12-point buffer over the Lions and all but condemn them to bottom spot.
Saturday’s match begins at 2.55pm.
The Dubbo Blue Jays won’t play this weekend as the women’s division enjoys a general bye.
