The Lismore City U/18 Colts side have made the decision to contest the Far North Coast Rugby Union Grand Final on Saturday.

The squad made the final decision at training last night after an emotional week for the club.

Lismore City has rallied around the family and team-mates in a tough time.

Officials and coaching staff left the final decision to the players and their families after a large tribute at training on Tuesday night.

Coach Josh Creighton said "We left it to the players and families to discuss the options and come back to us on Thursday night at training and it was a YES, let's do it for Eddie."

Club President Peter Everingham said "We would also like to thank Marist Brothers Rugby League Club for their support, with the U/18's team assisting with training on Tuesday. Eddie played for both teams and it was great to see so many of Eddie's mates together."

The match will be played in Casuarina at 12pm on Saturday and the club are urging supporters to travel in numbers and get a "huge green army" to attend.

Team mates and other club members have also started a tribute #doinitforeddie with many copying Eddie's distinctive haircut.
