Currently sitting second on the Waratah League ladder, the Thunderbolts will conclude their regular-season schedule with a clash against the Camden Valley Wildfire on Saturday evening.
The Thunderbolts will come into Saturday's clash off the back of a convincing 83-58 victory over the Wildfire last week.

Thunderbolts' coach Robyn Skelton said the team had the chance to "make history" this season.
"From winning the wooden spoon last year to being a chance to make finals this year is unbelievable," Skelton said.
"Initially we thought this year would be a rebuilding year and next year would be the year we would push for finals.
"To get there this year means we are 12 months ahead of schedule, which is fantastic."
Skelton said the side would take lessons from last Sunday's victory over the Wildfire.
"There are things we can improve on for sure," she said.
"We will look to keep our structures a little bit more and hopefully continue to do well with our shooting game."
While the women's team will be looking to secure a finals berth with a win on the road, the Thunderbolts' men's team will be looking to claim a win over the Newcastle Hunters.
The clash will be the Thunderbolts' last home game of the season before they finish the regular season with a clash against the Central Coast Crusaders on July 27.
The women's game will begin at 5pm at the Mount Annan Leisure Centre, while the men's game will tip off at 6pm at the Tamworth Sports Dome.
