The reigning premier sits third on the South West Cricket ladder, having won all three of its matches since Christmas. But second-placed Terang will be its biggest test so far in 2017.

“You can’t complain when you’re winning, but at the same time, we haven’t played the top two sides after Christmas,” Rosolin said.

“(Terang) obviously played pretty well to knock off Mortlake; that’s going to be a big challenge for us to see how we go.”

The Rebels will be without in-form middle-order batsman Hamish Huffadine, who is off to the Victorian golf country championships this weekend.

The teenager has made half-centuries in his past three starts, including an unbeaten 82 last Saturday, but the Rebels are not short on batting options.

“We’ve got a pretty deep batting line-up. If Hamish isn’t there, there are other blokes that can step up and make the runs as well,” Rosolin said.

Terang captain Brett Hunger said his charges were looking for a strong hitout in what will be their final match before their semi-final on March 11, as they look to reverse their finals losses of the past two summers.

“The last two years have really hurt us,” he said.

“They (the Rebels) were the team that knocked us out last year. We sort of felt like we’re building and last year we were definitely disappointed we weren’t able to make the grand final.”
