Rosebud are the runaway competition leaders but sustained their first loss of the season when beaten 3-1 by Merewether in a rescheduled fixture on Wednesday night.
“I will be putting the challenge to the girls that they need to turn up and show me if what I think of them is true,” Herron said.
The match is set to be an entertaining one with both sides having plenty of players who can cause damage.
While the bulk of Adamstown’s goals this season have been scored by Jets striker Rhali Dobson, Warners Bay’s have been shared between Sass Seaborn, Adriana Jones, Kally Lewis and Nadja Squires.
Adamstown remain the only top-four side Warners Bay have not beaten this year.
Warners Bay lost their first game of the season to Merewether but their only other defeats have been to Rosebud in rounds three and 10.
Warners Bay coach Leon Davis acknowledged their opponents were strong across the park and said “the way to approach it is to just be positive in all areas across the park”.
The game will be played at John St Oval.
Third-placed Merewether will be without several players through unavailability when they challenge the sixth-placed Redbacks at Thornton Park.
Wallsend, fourth, will look to find form when they host Mid North Coast after back-to-back losses to Adamstown and South Wallsend.
