To be played at Oberon Sportsground, the black and golds will enjoy their first hit-out of the season against Tim Ryan's Rams, a side that's a couple of games into its country championship preparation.
Western has knocked off St Mary's and South Newcastle in back-to-back trials and will complete its pre-season with the practice match against the Tigers.
