The Goldies head to Young on Friday night to take on the undefeated Yabbies under lights.
Boorowa is on a revenge mission after last year's heartbreaking semi-final loss to the Yabbies, a game they led at one stage 17-0.
It was a similar story last Friday night at the Boorowa Rugby Grounds. The Goldies dominated early crossing Harden's line twice to lead 12-7 at the break.
Errors and turnovers proved costly, though, as Harden capitalised scoring 21 second-half points to Boorowa's five.
The final score 28-17.
"It was a good game. After a bit of a slow start we controlled the game and scored two tries," Goldies coach Andrew Corcoran said.
"We relaxed a bit much at the break. They scored three tries and we turned the ball over too many times."
Corcoran said the focus at training this week would be reducing turnovers and turning pressure into points in attack.
He identified Ben Klose, Brad Rose, Mark Poplin, Lachlan Harding and Tim Gregory as players he hopes to see continue their form from the Harden clash.
Corcoran said there's plenty to play for against the Yabbies.
"We were leading against them in the semi-finals last year and let them win. There's a bit of meaning behind the game after that loss," he said.
"We had Harden and let them off the hook. Hopefully we can rectify our mistakes against Young."
A supporter bus will be heading to the game, which kicks-off at 7.15pm. Contact president Justin to book a spot.
