A strong Taupo Wanderers team will make the trip north today to contest the first piece of silverware in the Rotorua/Taupo senior reserve grade.
They will go up against the Eastern Pirates at Smallbone Park in Rotorua at 1pm, during the final of the pre-Christmas competition.
Wanderers senior player Alex Davey said they had one main strategy when they get out on the park.
"Score runs. We haven't batted 40 overs yet this season and that is the key. If the team who bats first gets through 40 overs they will be in a really good position."
Davey said they had won the pre-Christmas competition quite a few times but missed out on collecting any silverware last season.
