Stawell Westlift Warriors will be celebrating ten years since their premiership success over Ararat this weekend.

Going in as underdogs, Stawell upset the red-hot Rats by 10 points and starting tonight, will celebrate the victory at Central Park.

Commencing from 6pm, all 2000 premiership players will meet upstairs in the Warriors function room, in conjunction with Stawell 13 and Under Football Association matches.

Tomorrow all premiership players, coaches and committee, current club sponsors, senior team members and committee representatives will meet with a welcome from president Shane Rathgeber.

A presentation from 2000 president Robert Holmes and coach Murray Emerson will follow, while current coach Brad Cassidy will then give a response.

Premiership members will watch the match with Stawell and Ararat take place after lunch, before they will be greeted with a casserole tea in an open invitation to the game day wrap-up.

The 2000 premiership team, along with president and coach, will then be presented, before a replay of the match will be put on the big screen.
