It is the final weekend of Football FNC Grand Finals and Lismore has a big chance of hoisting a trophy.
South Lismore will be looking to raise the Cyril Mayo Trophy as Men's Premier League Champions when they take on Byron Bay on Saturday afternoon at Oakes Oval.
South Lismore won through to the decider with a strong 3-1 victory over Pointscore Champions Alstonville and Byron Bay defeated Bangalow 2-1 in their Semi Final.
The two teams have met twice this season, with both teams taking a win.
South Lismore took the points in Round 6 in Byron Bay 1-0, and in Round 19 in South Lismore, Byron Bay dominated 5-0.
A big crowd is expected to cheer the hometown side to victory, with the match starting at 6:15pm on Saturday evening.
The weekend is the last of three Grand Final weekends, with four junior deciders and seven senior finales.
The schedule features two matches on Friday night, a massive seven Grand Finals on Saturday, and concludes with the Men's Premier League and two more on Sunday, featuring the Women's Premier League match between Pottsville Beach and Lennox Head, which will bring the 2025 season to a close.
Rovers will field three teams in Grand Finals on Saturday, and another on Sunday, with Thistles, Goonellabah and Nimbin all represented from a local perspective.
Sunday will be a massive day in the Oakes Oval/Crozier Field precinct with two Football FNC Grand Finals and the NRRRL Grand Finals all being hosted from 9:00am.
FFNC organisers have scheduled an earlier start on Sunday to try to alleviate issues later in the day with parking and traffic in the area.
