Lismore will host their first home games of the season on Saturday when they clash with the Ballina Seahorses at Lismore Rugby Park.

The Greens have travelled for the first four rounds of the year and will finally enjoy home ground advantage this season.

They come up against a Ballina outfit who have found form in recent weeks, with victories over Casino, Wollongbar and Lismore in recent weeks.

In their Round 2 match, the Seahorses defeated Lismore 38-19 and Lismore will be out to reverse the result.

Tyler Coveney returns to the forward pack, along with Angus MacDougall which will strengthen the back row of the Greens.

A familiar backline will take the field with Lismore quietly confident in matching the big Ballina side.

Lismore will host Lennox Head in U/18 Colts at 11:50am and Reserve Grade will follow at 1:00pm.

The Women's side will take on Range at 2:20pm, with First Grade taking the field at 3:15pm.
