Undefeated so far this season, South Tamworth will look to cement a place in the top two with a victory and keep their dream of back-to-back premierships alive.
“We will definitely be looking to maintain the rage and our momentum,” O’Neill said.
“Last week’s win over Old Boys was pretty good and hopefully we can put in another solid performance against Norths to keep that going.”

Currently sitting second on the first grade ladder, O’Neill said his side would need “a complete bowling performance” to put some space between themselves and Norths, who currently sit in third.
“We didn’t bowl too well to the lower order against Old Boys,” he said.
“I think we let them off the hook a little bit and it pretty nearly cost us.
“Norths have some quality players like the Rixon brothers, so we will need to really be on our game from start to finish with the ball.”
O’Neill said he was confident the side’s younger players would help lead the side to victory.
“It would be good to see our younger guys such as Kaleb McIlveen really get going,” he said.
“I think Kaleb has been in some decent form lately and it would be really good to see him get some reward for effort in terms of runs against Norths.
“Really we have all been playing pretty well and while this game will certainly be a major challenge for us, I think if we are able to put in a complete performance as a team, we should go pretty close.”
