Their Launceston counterparts, the Northern Hawks, have been granted the chance for a rest, but the Cavs will have to wait an extra week - facing Devon at the Silverdome on Saturday.
With the Coastal outfit sitting winless at the bottom of the Tasmanian Netball League ladder, Cavaliers head of coaching Dannie Carstens is looking for her side to recover from last week's Hawks loss.
"After a pretty lousy game against the Hawks, it's time to really cement some key game plans from the coach's perspective and really rectify some of key areas that broke down for them last Friday night," she said.

"You never take any opponent lightly and Devon have some great up-and-coming talent and potential.
"The girls are going to give it 100 per cent and more because it's all around the processes and working towards the end goal which are finals and obviously the grand final.
"It's important to really use this and make sure they take every single second of the game to lead into the bye and the final double-header."
The Cavaliers have truly held the wood over their upcoming opponents in previous times, defeating them 15 times in the past six seasons.
Their most recent encounter saw the reigning premiers take home a 94-16 win last month while Devon, who come into the clash following the bye, played one of their closest match-ups a fortnight ago.
Despite the packed nature of their schedule, the Cavaliers' senior group still had a bumper week on the training track - competing alongside their development academy and under-19s in their annual round robin.
"We are pretty proud of our Cavaliers development academy program where 15s and 17s get a bit of a taster of what life could be like at that next level of State League," Carstens said.
"It's a great platform for us to build capacity within our coaches and also train them up for the next level of State League coaching and a part of that program every year is doing a round robin format where 19s, opens, 17s and 15s are mixed together in four different teams.
"Those younger athletes get to learn alongside the older ones and likewise, it's mutually beneficial because our 19s and opens get to do some mentoring and team modelling and get to build their leadership skills as well."
In preparation for their run at finals, the defending champions will be boosted by a training session with Tasmanian Magpies coach Jon Fletcher before their bye next week.
