Taree United, Great Lakes and Old Bar walked away from their round 11 clashes with the points and will take on sides looking to get their seasons back under control.
Last placed Wingham will need another solid bowling effort to topple competition leaders United at Central Park. Wingham only managed 86 runs against Great Lakes last round, but bowled confidently to put the home side under pressure.
United secured a convincing eight wicket win over Gloucester so look for the batsmen to enjoy some time at the crease.
Gloucester can put themselves into finals contention in the clash with Old Bar at Gloucester. If the Bushmen can defeat the more fancied Old Bar and other results go their way, they will move into fourth spot.
Old Bar won't take this clash for granted as they look to secure a home semi-final.
Taree West take on Great Lakes at Johnny Martin Oval in the other fixture. With net run rate the only difference between West and Gloucester on the table, the home side needs to take maximum points from the match against the reigning premiers.
Bulahdelah's charge to the third grade finals hit a small pothole last round when they dropped nine wickets while chasing down just 58 runs against the struggling Taree West Strikers.
The side will host OB Harrington tomorrow at Bulahdelah Oval in the match of the round.
There will also be an intriguing clash at Cundletown Oval where Taree United will face Great Lakes Gold.
Gold have looked confident with the bat this season so expect a high scoring contest here.
The time could be now to strike for Taree West Strikers. They take on competition newcomers Pacific Palms at Pacific Palms Oval.
In other round 14 action, Taree West Heat face Great Lakes Green at Taree Rec Ground and Old Bar clashes with Wingham at the Trad Fields.
