The games were scheduled to run at the Tathra Beach Country Club ground on Sunday, but officials have shuffled the ground to now be played at Lawrence Park.
Tathra officials said they had contacted both the minor league and soccer clubs before scheduling the match and forgot their home ground would be a base of operations for the Enduro.
The league-tag will take the ground from 1.30pm with the reserve grade to kick off at 2.30pm.
Both clubs will compete for the Terry Dickson Trophy – a Candelo-Bemboka football that travelled all the way down the river and washed up on Tathra Beach in the late 70s.
“Terry was the president of the Tathra club for many years and has also headed up the Men of League,” Sea Eagles president Peter Finucane said.
“Candelo-Bemboka are holding the trophy at the moment, but we’ll be looking for a win to put it back in our trophy cabinet on Sunday.”
Both clubs have enjoyed a few wins in recent outings, but have generally had a bit of a mixed bag.
Mr Finucane said he wasn’t sure what the game would be like on Sunday, but said the Eagles were welcoming some returning players and they would hope to front up with their own big forward pack.
“we’ll have a solid pack too, but I think we’ll look at the fringes for the attack, we’re hoping to play it out wide again.”
He said the Sea Eagles could have taken the result over Cooma, but a few handling errors in the greasy conditions and "balmy four degree” Cooma temperatures provided the difference.
“Our finishing strength is want we want to work on after Cooma got a couple on us in the dying minutes, if we can do that we can get a roll on.”
Mr Finucane said both the league-tag and reserve grade fixtures should be good competition and that Lawrence Park is a great ground for spectators, encouraging everyone to head along on the weekend.
