The club will be celebrating the Mark Miller-led side from the season, but also the 1996 Phil Fletcher coached reserve grade team and John Millers under 18s from the same year.
“The reunion will be held on the weekend that the club hosts the visit our traditional rivals the Pambula Merimbula Bulldogs,” club spokesman Sheldon Wykes said.
The 2006 side defeated Cooma by 28-8 after leading 8-4 at the break after a bruising first half of footy.
Miller was in his first year in charge of the mighty Tigers, but led them to three-straight premierships and “proved to be a fine leader and coach of the highly talented side”.
Tigers royalty Corey Stewart and Neil Baker led the way to an emphatic victory and Mr Wykes said “the day will be remembered for the wonderful performance of the then 16-year-old winger Matt Creswick, who scored two tries with his second half intercept a major influence in the final result”.
Mr Wykes said he would never forget the 80-metre sprint or commentary from the late Glen Switzer, but fans could relive the experience with the club to replay the game.
July 15 will be the first of proceedings when former club president hosts a meet and greet at the Great Southern Inn.
Everyone is invited to head along and the restaurant will be open for dinner after proceedings.
The club will take part in the social Dad’s Army golf on the Sunday morning before the Tigers play host to the Bulldogs.
