Horsham and Central Highlands will play the curtain raiser to the Wimmera Football League and Bellerine clash.
While not ranked high in the standings both teams will be keen to show their authority over their opposition.
Coach Shannon Argal is expecting his team to use their pace in order to defeat Central Highlands.
Argal has coached Laharum for the past four years, but will make the next step in his coaching career.
"We are a fast paced team," Argal said.
"We want to move the ball quickly and take advantage of our speed and flexibility."
The Horsham District team will feature three Swifts players with Damon Folkes, Scott Carey and Sean Mantell all named for tomorrow's game.
While the Swifts haven't been as impressive as everyone thought they might been this season, these three players continue to play well even when the side is down.
Both Carey and Mantell are expected to play a big role in the midfield, while Folkes will enjoy his tasks in the back line.
"Scott and Sean have been really strong supporters of interleague so it is great to have them in the side again this year," Argal said.
"I have had the pleasure of playing with and against these boys and they do all you ask. They are good players to have in any team."
Argal described the Swifts trio as 'proven performers' and hoped they would be at their best tomorrow.
In his first year of coaching interleague Argal has put little time into his opposition, but was expecting a close game.
"Inter eague matches are always pretty tight," Argal said.
"The game itself lifts and the pressure is always on. Hopefuly we can finish on top."
Argal said it was a great opportunity to further his coaching career and he was enjoying the experience.
"It is certainly a different experience coaching the interleague team," Argal said.
"They are a fantastic group of guys and they have really helped me out. It is great to represent our league."
The game between Horsham and Central Highlands will start at 12 noon at Horsham City Oval.
