Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers and the Western Suburbs Magpies will feature in a heritage showdown at Henson Park to kick start the 2010 NSW Cup season on Saturday, March 13.
The double header heritage matches will kick off at 3pm with the North Sydney Bears taking on the Western Suburbs Magpies followed by the showdown between the Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Tigers and the Newtown Jets at 5pm.
