The Kangaroos handed the Eagles, who now sit in third spot after the Blowes Clothing Cup, a 59-17 loss in the match.
Buoyed by the re-addition of their representative players that travelled to Tamworth to contest the Caldwell Cup finals against Illawarra and returned as champions, the Kangaroos have now put together back-to-back wins after downing Forbes Platypi.
The result will serve to boost morale around the Kangaroos camp after their side struggled to put together wins earlier in the season.
"We're very happy with our performance today, it's the first time all year that we've put together a complete performance and to do it against Cowra, an old rival, who are very tough to beat at home," Kangaroos coach Simon Petelo said.
"We stuck to our systems, and we've got a really good culture that's happening at our club; we'll celebrate tonight, but we've got the rest of the season ahead and we'll keep our form up."
Overall, the Kangaroos scored nine tries to the Eagles' three and were able to push a pace that has eluded them for much of the season, scoring tries and kicking conversions up until the final few minutes of the game.
"I think a lot of it was game management, the problem we had in the first few weeks was that we weren't playing the full eighty minutes and we didn't utilise our bench as much as we should have, but we've really looked to our bench in the last couple of weeks," Petelo said.
"We're using the strength of a 22-man squad rather than a 15-man squad."
Next week, the Roos will match up with the Orange City Lions, who currently sit at the bottom of the ladder, but Petelo says the Roos are well aware of how quickly a club's fortunes can turn around.
"Two of the big giants got beaten today, so that shows the calibre and how close this competition is."
"No game's an easy game in this competition."
