Knox said he believed his side was on the right track and it was important to keep playing positive cricket throughout the rest of the representative season.
Although the coach admitted he did not know too much about Hamilton or Bay of Plenty second XIs, he said there was no doubt the matches would be competitive.
"Our first XI sides have had some tough games against their first XIs, so I'd imagine their second teams would be pretty strong, too," Knox added.
The Northland Second XI side head to Hamilton tomorrow following the players' club cricket matches before playing their double-header over the long weekend.
Northland Second XI: Henry Cooper, Bert Horner (c), Nic Breslin, Michael O'Flaherty, Richard Atkins, Chris Page, Curtis Cherrington, Harry Darkins, Rory Darkins, Aidan Miller, Curtley Watson, Tom Herman.
