THE Cooma Cats Aussie Rules Football Club will come together this weekend to celebrate its 1984 premiership with a 40th reunion.

Past and present players from across the country and even overseason are headed to Cooma on Saturday to reflect on the club's one and only title.

While recent seasons have been favourable to the Cats - now known as the Southern Cats - a second flag remains elusive.

The club has organised a bumper Saturday of Auuie Rules at Snowy Oval to mark the occasion.

A women's match will launch the day's footy when about 15 local women - eager to form an Aussie Rules side next year - join Queanbeyan Tigers players for an exhibition fixtirue.

The Southern Cats men's side will then face Goulburn at 2pm.

Reunion organiser and former Cats secretary Gail Eastaway OAM said the occasion will reunite friendships as players, volunteers and club supporters come together.

"The weekend will be a great chance to catch-up with good friends," Ms Eastaway said.

"The club has always been a very welcoming place and when it started in the 1970s it brought lots of people together."

Ms Eastaway's involvement with the Cooma Aussie Rules, stretches back to her father, who played for a Cooma team in the late 1950s.

"My father and Stan Inkley in 1959 started Aussie Rules in Cooma. They were a very good side before," Mrs Eastaway said.

"The club took a hiatus and returned to the park in 1975 when Bill Bartling and Gladys Meldrum came to Cooma to run the Alpine Hotel."

A marquee with drinks and food will be setup at Snowy Oval with Mrs Eastaway hoping for a large crowd to cheer the women's and men's sides on.

"Saturday will be a terrific day with the women's match and then the men. We have past players from Perth, Queensland and even Christchurch coming along."

Following the matches, a function will be held at the Cooma Hotel.

The 1984 premiership is long remembered as one of the most exciting games of Aussie Rules played in the Canberra regional competition.

The Cooma Cats overturned a 17-point deficit in the final quarter to win by a goal in the extra-time period.

The grand final was held in Yass with the Cats defeating Weston Creek 15.11.101 to 14.11.95.

Mrs Eastaway remembers a strong Cooma crowd was on hand to cheer the Cats to victory.

Come Saturday, some of the club's most recogniseable names will be in attendance.

To help get in the spirit of celebrating the 1984 side, the grand final is available on the Southern Cats Youtube channel.
