Wildcats lose consistent Cassidy Veitch for clash with Sawtell

However, on the debit side they'll be missing consistent Cassidy Veitch, who faces an extended stay on the sidelines after injuring ankle ligaments in the 3-0 loss to Port United last week.

"We also get about six players back for reserve grade, so we're looking a bit better,'' coach Shannon Hall said.

"We have a couple of boys who are sick, but hopefully they'll be right.''

The Wildcats are still chasing their first win of the season. Sawtell defeated Taree in the first round played on a synthetic surface field at Coffs Harbour, however, Hall is confident that the home ground will be a big advantage to his side.

"We just need to get a win,'' he said.

"It would make a big difference.''
