"They won the North Coast Premier League last year, so based off that they are going to be a very strong team," O'Keefe told the Leader.
"They could be the strongest team we play all year, so if we can get our formations down pat and play well against them, it should give us a lot of confidence heading into the season."
O'Keefe said the win was symbolic of the club's progress this off season.
"So far, pre-season has been tracking really well," he said.
"Our coaches Tim Coates and Josh McGann have been making really diverse and it has been really beneficial."
If successful, OVA will play the winner of the Camden Haven Redbacks FC v Northern Storm FC match.
