The Cherryettes will play host to Wagga Kangaroos on Saturday at Alfred Oval, brimming with confidence following consecutive wins over Junee, Southcity, Albury and Cootamundra.
This week's match marks the first return game of the season with Young edging Roos 14-4 back in round one of the season.
Last week, Cherryettes chalked up their fifth win of the year with a comfortable 32-4 win over Cootamundra, thanks to standout performances by Mollie Hogan and Alyssa Wonson.
"The girls played a solid game, really patient with the ball and didn't force anything stupid, just stuck to the game plan," coach Saul Lealaitafea said. Now in third place on the ladder, victory over fourth-placed Roos will strengthen their grip on the top three.
Due to their form, both Alyssa Wonson and Sienna Smith have been picked in the league tag Group Nine side to play Group 20 on Saturday, June 29.

Under 19s
Under 19s recovered from a 22-point deficit to draw 22-22 in a top of the table clash with Southcity Bulls last weekend.
It was expected to be a close encounter with the two sides sharing the spoils in their previous games earlier this year.
The Bulls fired to a 22-0 lead at the 20 minute mark and looked like running away to an emphatic win.
However, the Cherrypickers managed to recover and reduce the deficit to 22-8 at the break.
Young piled on 16-unanswered points in the second-half to bring the scores to 22-22 at full-time. Under 19s manager Brad Pettit said the 19s missed a few opportunities in front of goal, which may have cost them the win.
"It was a fantastic effort by the young boys to come back from 22-0 down against such a quality side as Southcity and end up with a 22 all draw," he said.
"These two sides never disappoint the crowd by the standard of football both sides play."
Tryscorers were Tom Jenkins Tom Reynolds Jacob Lucas Jonty Langfield and the last try being scored by Nicholas Maloney.
Jacob Lucas kicked one goal.
