While the Cowra Magpies host the Woodbridge Cup qualifying semi finals this Sunday as undefeated minor premiers coach Phil Ingram is under no illusion the real work starts now.
The Magpies secured the minor premiership with a thrilling 19-18 win over the Peak Hill Roosters in Peak Hill on Sunday to maintain the top spot on the ladder over the Canowindra Tigers.
The Magpies will now meet fourth placed Manildra this Sunday.
"We made it a bit hard for ourselves, execution on some of our plays was a bit poor," Ingram said of the win over Peak Hill.
"It was 18 all and Ricky (Whitton) kicked a field goal from about 30 out, I thought he actually missed it."
"We've got a couple of injury concerns, Blake Duncombe will miss the week with a hip injury and Luke Kinsey with an ankle injury.
"It was pleasing we were able to achieve the minor premiership and go through undefeated but it's a whole new ball game now.
"We've given ourselves the best opportunity with a home semi and if we win this one we'll get another home semi to lead into the grand final.
"We're a bit down on troops but the boys coming in have done the job all year," he said.
The Magpies will have all three sides in action at Sid Kallas with the Youth League side meeting Orange United at 11.20am, League Tag against Canowindra at 12.30pm and first grade taking on Manildra in first grade from 2pm.
Ingram congratulated the league tag and under 18s for progressing to the semi finals.
"It's going to be a big day, if everyone can come over and support us it will be good," Ingram said.
The likely Cowra first grade squad is Morea Phillip, Josh Weston, Mitchell Hatch, Daniel Hatch, Fotofili Paunga, Tyler Nobes, Ricky Whitton, Sam Ingram, Stephen Ingram, Jake Slattery, Tyson Williams, Jack Harper, Kyle Kemp, Stanley Rush, Matt Frazer, Sam Frazer, Dave Doran.
This weekend's other Woodbridge Cup semi finals will be played in Canowindra, Peak Hill and Eugowra.
Canowindra are at home on Sunday in first grade taking on Trundle from 2pm in the competition's other qualifying semi final.
The Canowindra Youth League side will host Grenfell from 12.40pm while the League Tag match is between Manildra and Orange United at 11.20am.
At Peak Hill in an elimination semi final on Saturday in League Tag at 1.40pm the Roosters host Grenfell and in first grade Oberon.
At Eugowra the Golden Eagles take on Molong at 3pm in another elimination semi final and in League Tag Molong plays Trundle from 1.40pm.
