It's finals time in the Sunshine Conference Basketball competitions, and all the action is in Lismore this weekend.

The competitions' Semi Finals and Preliminary Finals will be played across the weekend, with the Lismore Storm Men's and Women's teams looking to progress to next weekend's Grand Finals.

The Storm Women's team will be looking to defend the title that they won in 2024, with the Men looking to upset the Valley Braves, who are out to defend their 2024 title.

The Women will take to the court first in the Major Semi Final at 12:15 pm, when they take on the Coffs Harbour Suns.

The Suns will be a tough match-up for the Storm, but the local side will be switched on after their recent good form.

Lismore will be looking for offensive output from a number of players to test the Suns' defence.

Kiara Richardson, Alissa McWhirter, Makayla Greensill and Poppy Latta have all been strong contributors offensively this season and will all be ready to fire.

The other Women's Semi Finals will be played between the Ballina Breakers and the Byron Beez.

The Men's Division 1 matches will tip off at 2:30 pm, with the Lismore Storm up against the undefeated Valley Braves in the Major Semi-Final.

Lismore will be without Kaleb Jeffery, but will look for big games from Zac Knight, Toby Barlow and impressive youngster Kane Daley, who has stepped up in recent weeks.

The second Men's Division 1 Semi Final will be played between the Ballina Breakers and the Grafton Vikings, in what should be a close contest.

The action starts at 10:00 am on Saturday with Division 2 Men's Semi Finals between Tweed Valley Volcanoes and Yamba Trawlers, and the Valley Braves and the Byron Beez.

Sunday will see Preliminary Final games played in Lismore to find the Grand Finalists.

10:00am will see the Division 2 Men and the Women face off before the Men's match at 12:15pm.
