Last week the veteran outside back celebrated his 100^th top grade Blowes Clothing Cup appearance in the Lions' 32-14 loss to Dubbo Kangaroos and this weekend's he'll mark his 200^th game for the senior club against Cowra.

His back-to-back celebration comes not long after younger brother Duncan made his 150^th top flight appearance in the fabled orange and green, and while 2019 hasn't been the best of years for the side results wise, for the brothers it's been quite special.

Outside a season in Finland and another in the Netherlands, Young has played exclusively for Orange City since Wallas.

"Duncan played his 150^th earlier this year and he was actually captain last weekend for my 100^th with [Cam Cole] injured, which was another nice little thing, it is good to be able to do these things together," Barton Young said.

"Last week was really good, you don't play for the milestones obviously but they're nice, and the boys played really well too. The two milestones have fallen close together which is great, I am really glad this one's coming at home too."

Saturday's round 11 clash marks the beginning of the 2019 season's third round of regular season games and it's also the first time the Lions have played Cowra since round six, a clash that was marred with well-publicised controversy.

Young wouldn't be drawn into comment on any potential fire in the clash, taking a positive frame of mind and saying his side will focus purely on trying to earn their first victory of the year, which at times hasn't looked far away.

The Lions produced a promising draw against reigning champions Emus earlier this season, they pushed Forbes all the way in a 19-8 defeat a fortnight ago and even last weekend they matched it with Roos, although the Dubbo side blew the scoreline out a bit in the end.

"We've matched it with a lot of sides this year, we just haven't been able to put that finishing touch on a few of those games," Young said.

"Forbes, Roos, Emus, we've been really close in a few games and sometimes it's just been those sides' individual guns making the difference. We'll just have to keep working hard."

Young said his Lions aren't under any illusions and they have the big picture in mind.

Obviously being winless through 10 games is far from ideal and while they, mathematically, are still a chance to feature in the finals this year that's not something they're focusing on.

Particularly not with the injury list they have at the moment, Young said the group is firmly focused on building as a unit, with long-term success the ultimate goal.

"We have a few guys out but we always have a pretty strong colts group and that's the same this year. We've seen how good in a guy like Fletcher Rose, who's been outstanding," Young said.

"You're always going out there to get the W and we can beat these sides, but it's good the younger guys are getting more experience and we've got faith in them, but the focus I think is building to something, focusing on team performances."

Young's 200^th senior grade appearance for the Lions will begin at 3.15pm at Pride Park, Orange City coach Viv Paasi was yet to confirm his starting XV at time of publication.
