The Lismore First Grade Rugby side will look for their first win of the season when they take on Casino at home on Saturday at Lismore Rugby Park.

Like all outdoor sports over the last few months, the clash is reliant on the weather and ground conditions, and with overnight rain, a ground assessment will be needed.

Lismore spent the week regrouping after a heavy loss to the reigning Premiers, Wollongbar Alstonville, but the side remains confident in taking it to the Bulls.

The Casino side has recruited well in the off-season, and come off a 28-17 win last weekend against Lennox Head.

Lismore have named a relatively unchanged lineup from their match last weekend, with Sam Gillett replacing Soren Webster at outside centre the only noticeable change.

The undefeated Colts side will kick off the day against Mullumbimby at 11:50am, with Reserve Grade at 1:00pm.

The Women will also look to remain undefeated when they play Casino at 2:20pm before the First Grade starts at 3:15pm.
