It's Finals time in Far North Coast Rugby with a huge weekend of football scheduled.

The Wollongbar Alstonville Pioneers will host the Major Semi-Finals on Saturday, with Ballina hosting the Minor Semi-Finals on Sunday.

The two sides will meet in the First Grade Major Semi-Final on Saturday, with the winner cementing a Grand Final berth, the loser will take on the winner of Casuarina Beach and Byron Shire.

Lismore will have two teams contest the finals, with the Women clashing with Casino on Saturday to move straight through to the Grand Final, and the U/18 Colts will play on Sunday in the sudden-death Minor Semi-Final against Yamba.

The Women will kick off at 2:35pm at Wollongbar, and the Colts will start at the early time of 10:00am on Sunday in Ballina.

Both teams have named strong lineups and will go into their respective matches with plenty of confidence.
