That's the goal for Grant Koch and Barnstoneworth FC this weekend as the Western Premier League contenders look to stamp their authority on the competition with a pair of wins in a Jack Brabham double header on Saturday and Sunday.

The side is fresh off a round three bye after thumping Panorama FC 4-2 in an away blitz in the second week of the competition and will now look to add more teams to their list of victims as Lithgow Workmen's FC and Dubbo Bulls come to town.

"We're in for a rough challenge this weekend but we're looking to get three points in both games," Koch said. "Lithgow won the Bathurst comp last year and they're going to be very competitive.

"Dubbo got thumped by Macquarie on Thursday night so they'll come out firing."

Koch's assessment of both sides seems to be bang on the mark as Workmen's FC boasts an impressive rap sheet in recent times, having won a Bathurst competition in 2019, while Bulls have already added a pair of wins to their WPL resume this winter.

This year's version of the WPL is shaping to be a razor close one and despite the challenge at-hand, Barnies' goal is simple - win a premiership.

"I thought at the start of the year that we had a good side on paper," Koch said.

"Now it's just about our combinations gelling and fingers crossed that we can go the whole way."

In any code, winning a competition usually starts with defence and after skipper Josh Summeron iterated the importance of that aspect of their game before the season started, Koch doubled down on the vitality of that facet as well.

"Our defensive shape is what's most important," he said.

"If we can play well at the back that will help our forwards out."

If Barnies are able to give good ball to their forwards, that shapes as a dangerous proposition for opposing teams as Summerson's men have one of the more dangerous set of goal-scorers in the league as Paulo Grazi and Jackson Fuda top the list of forward talent on the roster.

As a midfielder, one of the key elements to Koch's game is endurance and that's one of the things he'd like to continually improve as the campaign progresses.

"It [fitness] took a bit of a beating before the season," he laughed. "I didn't know if we were going to come back so I probably didn't do as much of it as I should have.

It's a league-wide double header round and on Saturday, Panorama FC will play host to Orana Spurs as both sides will look to crack into the top four after indifferent starts to the season.

On Sunday, Lithgow will host Parkes as the Cobras will be seeking their first win of the season while Macquarie will look to continue its red hot run of attack with a local derby against Orana Spurs.

After three rounds, Dubbo Bulls and Macquarie each share the top spot on the ladder, while Workmen's FC and Barnstoneworth FC round out the final four. Panorama sits in fifth position ahead of Orana Spurs and the last-placed Parkes Cobras. Saturday and Sunday's games will both commence at 3.15pm at Jack Brabham Park.
