Marist Brothers will host the Bilambil Jets in a crucial match-up in the NRRRL on Sunday at Crozier Field.



Brothers coach Darryl Butcher has made several changes to the side that played just their second match of the season last weekend.


The Rams are coming off a nailbiting 16-all draw with Casino after trailing 16-0 during the match.


A second half comeback, which included tries to Damon Caldwell, Mitchell Krause and Jye Davis, was enough to secure a competition point in just the Rams second match in the six rounds of the NRRRL competition due to wet weather and ground closures.


Butcher has named Wally Kelly at fullback after an impressive 30-minute stint off the bench last week.


AJ Ferguson comes onto the wing in place of the injured Ethan Mumford.



Lachlen Perrin, Paul O'Neill and James Durheim will again provide a strong front row, with Shallin Fuller looking to continue his great form over the last 12 months at halfback.


"We are really excited to test ourselves and get a read on how we are starting to play. Bilambil are a top-notch team and are the team to beat at this stage of the season." Butcher said.


The Jets have been in great form in recent weeks and are yet to be defeated this season, coming off a 20-12 win over Lower Clarence last week.


They sit in second place on the ladder (10 points from 5 games), two points behind Cudgen (12 points from 6 games).


The day will start at 12:00pm with U/18's, followed by Reserve Grade at 1:15pm and First Grade at 2:45pm, on what should be a big day with the club celebrating Ladies Day.



In other games, Northern United will head south to take on the Lower Clarence Magpies, Evans Head host Mullumbimby, Kyogle host Casino in the local derby and Byron Bay host Tweed Coast.


In the north, Murwillumbah host Ballina and Tweed Heads Seagulls head across the river to take on Cudgen.


There is a general bye next weekend for the June Long Weekend.
