The Blue Heelers broke through to claim last year's premiership and have managed a near faultless defence in 2019, winning 12 of 14 games to sit a win clear on top of the ladder.
A win over the last-placed, winless Eugowra - the side Cargo played in last year's league tag grand final - will secure Anthony Regan's girls top billing again heading into the post season.
Grenfell will likely wrap up second place when they take on Molong while Manildra's claim on third place should also be assured come the end of the cup's penultimate round, with the Rhinos girls set to take on Peak Hill.
Canowindra takes on Condobolin with the winner to end the round in fourth place, a game that is likely an elimination semi-final preview two weeks early.
Trundle wrapped up the Woodbridge Cup minor premiership last week, Josh Miles' side's 18-0 victory over Manildra ensuring the Boomers will end the regular season on top of the ladder.
Who finishes where on the rest of the ladder, though, is anyone's guess.

Heading into the second last round of the season, Manildra, Molong, Grenfell, Canowindra and Peak Hill are all a chance of playing finals footy, with Molong (third) through to Peak Hill (sixth) separated by just three competition points.
The most telling round 17 fixtures will be played out at Peak Hill and Molong, with the Roosters to host the Rhinos and the Bulls set to tackle the Grenfell Goannas.
Peak Hill has its six game winning run stalled a touch last week when Molong snatched a crucial point with an 18-all draw at Peak Hill Oval but Torin Hando's outfit will fancy its chances against a Rhinos side touted as an early season contender but one that's dropped three of its last five games.
