Both sides were beaten last weekend, with Camden Haven upsetting the Wildcats 4-3 while Tuncurry-Forster defeated United 2-0.
Tuesday’s game was deferred because of Port’s commitments in the FFA Cup. The Wildcats will have two trips to Port Macquarie in a week. Next Saturday they play Port Saints.

The Redbacks will host high flying Macleay Valley Rangers next weekend.
Macleay Valley Rangers bounced straight back into the winner’s circle after their first loss of the season last round against Wallis Lake. Rangers did it in style in the local derby against Kempsey Saints at Eden Street. Taking a 3-0 lead into the halftime break, Rangers didn’t allow their hosts back into the match at any stage and finished with a 4-0 win. The Saints will host Wauchope next weekend in round 10, while MVR will head to Laurieton to take on the Redbacks.
