The Shamrocks will welcome Devonport who are on the search for form after enduring a three-game losing stretch in the Greater Northern Cup.
"There's plenty of us that are really eager to play out there, we got to play out there for the first round of the T20s and it was beautiful, outfield was fast and good to bat on," Westbury captain Daniel Murfet said.
"We like to think we make it pretty hard for other teams to come out and play Westbury."

Jared Mason and Nathan Parkin are set to return for the Shamrocks in place of Jesse Digney and Joseph Griffin.
Launceston coach Andy Gower is feeling positive ahead of his side's fixture against Ulverstone after three wins in a row as they sit comfortably in the upper echelons of the table.
"We've had three good weeks on the bounce and we're really happy with how we're going internally, I think we're playing some really exciting and positive cricket at the moment," he said.
The Lions are set to lose Tom Gray for the Black Caps fixture.
Riverside fell to their first loss of the season last round and will be out for redemption when Burnie head down to Riverside No. 1.
After battling tricky conditions against Ulverstone for a 31-run loss, coach Lyndon Stubbs has a clear plan of attack against the Hurricanes.
"We need to dictate terms and play on our terms with the bat and the ball ... if we dictate terms with the ball and take a few wickets early we can get on top there," he said.
The Blues' batting line-up will be wary against Shaun Redman, who has been in dangerous form with consecutive four-wicket hauls in the competition.
"We can't just let him settle in and take the game away from us, we need to be dictating to him and the rest of their bowlers as well," Stubbs said.
Solomon Scott and Ben Walker could be in contention after impressive recent performances.
Mowbray hit the road for Sheffield as the Mountaineers await an Eagles side which is chasing their second consecutive win against coastal opposition.
Top-order batter John Hayes is set to rejoin the side after recovering from a hand injury to further boost the Mowbray line-up which ranks as third best for runs scored this season.
Mowbray captain Luke Scott hoped his bowlers took inspiration from last week after they constrained Burnie to 122 all out.
"I think the bowlers should be going in with plenty of confidence, we've certainly had some talk this week about making sure we're getting those partnerships again and bigger scores on the board," he said.
"We're in the mix with the rest of the Cricket North teams and any chance before Christmas to get a win [is a chance] to maybe sneak away or keep up."

South Launceston are also traversing the coast this weekend as they head-off to the lowly Wynyard who are looking to secure their opening win of the season.
It would appear on paper that the Tigers are facing an uphill battle given they've been bowled out in every innings so far and their collective team (269 runs) has been outscored by Knights' batter Nathan Philip (358).
"With him [Philip] he's almost a class above there's a couple of guys in our competition who when they come to the crease they look a little bit different, the ball sounds different off the bat," South Launceston captain Sean Harris said.
Despite the differing seasons between the sides, the Knights are taking nothing for granted.
"They've got some really good players, Gregg Sharman has been a quality player for a lot of years so he's dangerous at five or six, we certainly can't take them lightly," he said.
