They have a derby clash against St Pat's in women's Premier League Hockey this Sunday at Bob Roach Field, hoping to triumph as underdogs.
City showed a lot of spirit in their 4-2 loss against Panthers and coach Mal Willott said the team have showed plenty of spark in attack.
Now they have extra players back in the team to help try and turn that spark into a flame.
"We've got nothing to lose because we're on the bottom of the table so we'll just go out there and give it our all on Sunday," Willott said.
"We've got a few of our older players back this weekend which will make a big difference. We'll have Kelly Baker, Erin Cobcroft, Kirsten Howard and Angela Behan.
"We played great over in Lithgow on the weekend and I feel like if we had a couple of those older players there to help out that could have made a big difference, just to guide the others around the park.
"I thought our decision making was near perfect last round. That was really good to see. I just want to see more of that again and for us to build upon that."
The derby gets underway from 2pm.
