After three tough away games - which started with two draws and ended with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sydney Olympic on Wednesday night - Luke Wilkshire's men will return to Albert Butler Park to face Blacktown.

"It will be nice to be back home. But Blacktown are always tough, they have been for many years," coach Wilkshire said.

"It was a great result away from home, up there at Belmore. Obviously we were desperate for the win and the boys showed some great character.

''We had three tough games away from home and we were pleased not to lose, but we would have liked to pick up more points because we had opportunities to win the other games. But we take it and move on I guess."

Sunday will also mark the first home game for several young Wolves who made their first grade debut while on the road. And Wilkshire believes the club's youth could be the key to the side's success.

''I was delighted with the new players who come in. We had three players make debuts (against Olympic) and I think they all stood up and did a great job," he said.

"Evan (Bell) made his debut the other week against Marconi and then on Wednesday night we had had Daniel Loe at right back, Nav Djarni and Jarvis Patterson. We also had young Brendan Low playing at left back, so we've got talented youngsters coming through. They have the right to be there and the opportunity is there for them."
