Justin Toomey-White's men will be at home for the second time this season in as many matches and once again will host one of the top clubs in Group 10.
The Cowboys were brave in their opening game of the season against the Bathurst Panthers, eventually going down 32-12.
After several players departed Wellington during the off-season there were still enough positive signs for the Cowboys to suggest they will put up a fight in every game they play this year.
Brock Naden was brilliant in the game against the Panthers at fullback and Toomey-White is one of the best players in the region, showing why when he carried three Bathurst defenders over the line to score in the same game.
Elsewhere, Nyngan will hit the road for the first time this year when they play the Orange Hawks, also on Sunday.
