RIPLEY Valley will test their depth early in Friday night's local derby against the Ipswich City Bulls.
With some injury concerns and player unavailability, head coach Nick Paterson was keen to see how his extended squad fares at Sutton Park in their next game.
Ripley Valley and the Bulls will clash in the third round Capital League 1 encounter having both lost their latest matches.
But while the Bulls were outclassed in their 6-2 defeat to Moggill on Saturday night, Paterson had mixed feelings about his team's 2-0 loss to Annerley.
"Bitterly disappointed (not to win) as we played really well,'' Paterson said.
