The Ouyen Rams are preparing for this weekend's local area derby match against Tempy Tigers, but club President Dom Leach was having none of the A-Grade side's current media hype, insisting players are being encouraged to take things on a week-by-week basis.

The Rams comfortably overcame Millewa on the weekend, though this weekend could be a different gravy altogether with the visit of fierce rivals, the Tempy Tigers to Blackburn Park on Saturday.

While Leach emphasised his optimism in the ability of his Ouyen troops, particularly Brad Parsons who has demonstrated incredible form recently, cricket might be the overall winner on the day on Saturday with the inaugural trivia night to be held at the club following the day's play.
