The match, revealed after the release of the men's first-grade draw on Wednesday, is one of four games set to be played on Saturday during the competition's opening round.

Wyong Roos will host The Entrance Tigers in a Central Coast derby at Morry Breen Oval.

Kurri Kurri Bulldogs are at home to Lakes United Seagulls, while Macquarie Scorpions will host South Newcastle Lions.
