Formerly Confederates, the United hockey club will not only make their debut in round one, but will look to make a first-up statement against the visit Souths.
It might be a different jersey and team name, but the majority of the girls who played under Nic Milne in 2020 will return to the fold, with the likes of Eva Reith-Snare and Heidi Townsend to be in action throughout the campaign.
Feds finished one win shy of a grand-final berth last year as they were a model of consistency throughout the regular season.
And while the coach was pleased with that outcome, he can't help but want to go one or two games better this time around.
"We're still aiming to be one of the top four sides and we'd even like to go one step further and possibly make the grand final," Milne said.
"But, every other club wants to do that as well... that's what makes it so competitive."
They weren't heavyweights last year, but that doesn't mean Milne isn't taking Souths as seriously as possible.
"It's hard because you don't know who they've got or who they've picked up," he said.
"But, they're never a team you can take lightly and they're always going to show up. "
When looking at the remainder of the league, Milne expects the usual suspects to be sniffing around the top of the ladder.
"I dare say they Pat's and Panthers will be the top two sides again," he said.
Reverting back to his own side, Milne has a few simple objectives for Saturday's clash.
"We want to start fast and come out hard," he said.
"I want to be distributing the ball and making our opponents work for the first 15 minutes... I want to be in the game for the whole 60 minutes."
The clash will commence at 12.30pm at Orange.
