The competition resumes after a two week break caused by the bushfires.
Wingham leads the competition on 21 points two clear of United.
Tomorrow's opponents, Port City, have also made a reasonable start to the season and with Wauchope RSL and Kempsey side Rovers, have 16 points.
Wingham's middle order batsmen go into the game without much time in the centre.
The last game, back on November 2 saw Wingham win by nine wickets over Rovers, when Ben Scowen smashed the attack to finish 96 not out. Scowen will be available again this weekend.
"It's going to be like the start of a new season, we've only played two games in seven weeks,'' Wingham captain Mick Rees said.
"But everyone's in the same boat.''
Work commitments look likely to keep veteran allround Mick Stinson out. Otherwise Wingham will be at top strength.
Rees promised the Cedar Party Reserve deck will be in good order.
"Mick Stinson and Wayne Smoothy have been doing plenty of work there,'' he said.
"It's the best wicket on the North Coast. A good wicket and a fast outfield, it'll be awesome if you get in.
"But I haven't had a bat yet, so hopefully I'll get the chance this weekend.''
