The club is expecting hundreds of people at Central Park on Saturday as they take on the Horsham Saints on the football field and netball court and celebrate a special occasion off them.
Two decades have passed since Stawell and Warriors merged to form one club, with the now united entity celebrating 20 years since that milestone occasion this weekend.
The senior football team will wear specially designed jumpers, combining the colours of both Stawell and Warriors on one playing top. The jumper also lists premierships the individual clubs one as well those won under the Stawell Warriors banner. The limited edition guernseys will be auctioned off at the clubrooms later that night.
The club has also done something it has never done before, picking '20-year teams' of the best footballers and netballers to have played for the club between 1999 and 2018. The teams will be announced on Saturday night.
As well as the merger celebrations, the club will also play their annual white ribbon contest against the Saints, raising awareness in the fight against domestic violence.
Not to be outdone, the 2009 premiership reserves side will also celebrate their 10-year reunion on the day too.
"It is going to be a huge day for us, by far the biggest home game of the year. We hope to see plenty of old faces down there," president Tim Williams said.
