Kicking off proceedings will be the Golden Oldies match between the Grande Olde Boars against the Bega Blue Veins about noon.
Following the Golden Oldies, Bay Red will tackle Milton Platypi with kick-off at 1.30pm.
Bay Red sits in fourth on the South Coast Rugby Union ladder and is coming off a bye.
Second-placed Milton defeated Broulee 34-25 at Frogs Holla and will be looking to build a streak leading into the finals.
At 3pm the local derby between the Batemans Bay Boars and Broulee Dolphins will begin.
Boars coach Matt Ryan expects Broulee to show further improvement as they achieve greater consistency with their playing group.
“They’ve shown improvement from the first game to last week and they will try to put as much pressure on us as they can,” Ryan said.
The Boars will be without captain Andrew Fleming but Ryan said it should “alright”.
“With the Reds playing before our game we should have a better rotation with our bench,” he said.
Dolphins coach Murray Hadley was impressed by his team’s defence last week but expected a tougher opponent on Saturday.
“It’s going to a pretty hard game, we’re down a couple of players,” Hadley said.
“They’ll be a lot stronger at home so hopefully some of our under 18s can back up.”
After the games the Super Rugby final will be broadcast upstairs at the clubhouse from 7.30pm.
