The Rovers have been travelling particularly well in the netball, with only two losses across all grades so far this season.
They will be looking to continue this form on the Berrigan courts tomorrow.
The footballers started the season well, but faced challenges last week with all grades defeated by Barooga.
The senior footballers, in particular, will be out to reverse their form with two losses in a row against Jerilderie and Berrigan - both by three goals.
Senior coach Alex Hay said despite the weekend’s result, the team showed positive signs which they will need to build on.
“Increasing our pressure over four quarters was the main focus coming into the game, and we knew that we would have to restrict Barooga's running game.
“I thought we did that really effectively, although we just couldn't make the most of our forward half dominance.
“Our work from the middle of the ground was excellent with Simmo (Andrew Simpson), Ivesy (Logan Ives), Tyson (Willis) and Cam (Wills) really getting the game on our terms early, and we were on top at stoppages consistently throughout the day which gave us great field position.
“To kick 10 goals and 13 behinds just isn't enough against quality opposition, so that's something we will certainly have to correct coming into this weekend.”
Hay said he is expecting a difficult test in what is a 2025 semi final rematch.
Berrigan will be keen to make amends for a 55 point loss against Jerilderie last week.
“This weekend will be tough.
“I'm not reading too much into this recent form from the weekend. They had a number of key players out, which make a huge difference to the makeup of their team and how they play, but we can only control how we go about it.
“I'm confident that we are going to get enough looks forward of the ball and our team defence will hold up.
“We just have to get the scoreboard reward to compliment the work that we're doing around the ground.”
With a few adjustments to the game plan implemented this season, Hay is looking for the team to aim to continue their consistency in execution.
“I think, despite probably the Jerilderie game, we have been really consistent.
“We made a few changes over the off season, which took some adjusting.
“Some areas of our game have worked, others probably not so much, but as a group, we're improving and trying to develop a style of football that will challenge the top teams.”
