Beginning at around 11.30am with the ladies taking on a combined Central West side, spectators will be treated to four matches with the first graders headlining at 3.15pm.
Following the action at the Cowra Rugby Ground, the celebrations will move to the Cowra Showground where it is expected that around 400 of the Eagles' faithful will converge for a night of reminiscing along with special guest, former Wallaby Tim Gavin.
Gavin enjoyed an illustrious career which included 47 Test caps for Australia as well as 83 appearances for New South Wales, 30 as captain.
Since retirement, Gavin has remained highly involved in the sport including his three year role as President of NSW Rugby Union.
The opportunity to have a yarn with him will be one of many highlights along with the auctioning of the Eagles' first graders retro jerseys.
As mentioned the first graders are set to take a step back in time donning the red and white srtipes of the Cowra Eagles from yesteryear.
They'll be presented the jerseys by Tim Gavin before the match and are chasing a victory to reestablish a comfortable position in the top five as the competition heads into its final month.
