Round 13 of the Wimmera League will see the Rats face off against the back to back premiership team for the second time this season.

In their Round 4 clash the Rats got up on them by seven goals.

A grade Coach Taylor Mason said this round would see the side push every advantage.

"Coming up to the Saints last time, they definitely had some sort of home ground advantage in that they play indoors," she said.

"In netball I don't really believe in home ground advantage, but when you're the only team that plays indoors in the league I do, so I think playing on our court, it will be an advantage over the Saints which will hopefully help us get up."

Mason said the outdoor court could also change the way the Saints play their game.

"It was a really rough game last time, so I think that will be different on a hard surface," she said. "If you hit someone, they'll fall and have blood and have to go off."

The team will be coming off a Round 12 loss to Dimboola, but will be almost back to full strength.

"Everyone will be available this weekend which is exciting, because it hasn't been that way for the last four or five weeks," Mason said.

"So coming off a loss at the weekend, I'm definitely stoked to have the team back and working together again."

Last round the side was missing key names like Krystal Fisher, and Monique and Racquel Scott.

The one player who won't be back of course is Kate Bligh, who is out for the season after sustaining a knee injury.

"It'll be a good game," Mason said. "The Saints are always a strong team, getting back to back premiers, but definitely with the ability of Ararat we can take it all the way to them."
