The 15.9 (99) over 4.2 (26) victory came as a boost of confidence for the squad on the back of a loss to the Tasmania Devils the week prior.

The strong performance saw several Pioneers players selected in the Team of the Week: Jayda Richardson (B), Lila Keck (HF), Octavia Di Donato (FOL) and Lou Painter (Inter).

Meanwhile, the Cannons also head into the match ready to fire after a close six-point win over Murray last week.

Cannon's (3-1) 7.4 (46) over 6.4 (40) triumph lifted them to sixth on the ladder - with the Pioneers (2-3) trailing close behind in seventh position.

The match commences at 1pm, at Highgate Recreation Reserve at 1pm on Saturday.
