Defending champion Valley, which earned this weekend off, will play Kurow at Whitestone Contracting Stadium.
Kurow, desperate to win the Citizens Shield for the first time since 1982, qualified with an 11-5 win over Old Boys in Oamaru today.
Old Boys led 5-3 at halftime but were held scoreless in the second spell.
Young flanker Lochie Templeton scored a try for Kurow, and first five Hayden Parker secured the win with a penalty with 12 minutes remaining.
The Valley-Kurow clash is a repeat of the epic 2018 final, won by Valley.
