ROCHFORD Hundred are readying themselves for a tough test in Regional One South East on Saturday.
Rochford head to second placed Harpenden looking to bounce back from two successive defeats.
And head coach Danny Cleare - whose side are fifth in the standings - is expecting a hard-fought encounter.
"Harpenden will be really tough," said Cleare.
"They’re sitting in the top three and they have had some really good results this season.
"But I’m an optimist, and I truly believe on our day we can beat anyone in this league so we’ll go into this game full of confidence still with the belief we can turn them over.
"But we also need to be hard on ourselves and learn lessons from the recent losses."
Elsewhere, bottom of the table Westcliff head to ninth placed Oundle.
