Not only will the man they call 'Milat' achieve an impressive feat, so will league tag legend Mandy Moore... she's set to reach a centenary of matches on the same day.
Piper doesn't tend to lace 'em up every weekend but felt like he needed to on Sunday.
"I tend to prioritise my juniors on Saturdays," he said.
"But with Mandy playing her 100th, she thought it would be a good idea if I played my 150th on the same day... make a bit of a deal about it."
As you might expect, CYMS is a huge part of Piper's life, which is why the cancellation of the senior competition in 2020 came as a bit of a shock.
"Lucky we still had the juniors last year... Saturdays were still CYMS days," he said.
He's got a ways to go before he cracks 200, but he thinks if he "gets fit enough" he's a chance to reach that feat.
Sunday's match day will be without a first-grade encounter as Graeme Osbourne's Workies have forfeited due to injury.
League tag, second grade and under 18s will all be on deck.
