A huge day of basketball will be held at the Lismore Basketball Stadium on Saturday.
Round 11 of the Men's and Women's Sunshine Conference Basketball season will see five huge games of basketball hosted at the Keen Street stadium.
The Women's competition will host 4 matches in double headers for all teams, with the Lismore Storm playing Coffs Harbour at 11:00am and backing up again at 3:00pm to play the Byron Bay Beez.
The Storm will be looking to upset the strong Coffs Suns side, before going in as favourites against the Beez.
In the other Women's matches, Byron will play Ballina at 11:00am and Ballina will take on Coffs in a top of the table match at 3:00pm.
The Lismore Storm Men will be looking to return to the winners list when they take on the Yamba Trawlers at 1:00pm.
The side is coming off a narrow loss to the undefeated Valley Braves last weekend and will look for a solid hit out against the Trawlers.
The last time the two sides clashed back in Round 2, Lismore were comfortable 99-44 victors, however the Trawlers have have improved significantly as the season has progressed and will cause a challenge for the Storm side.
