Lismore Rugby Club's Women's 10's and Colts have one last shot at a Grand Final berth on Saturday.
The Women's side went down to Casuarina 17-0 in last weeks Major Semi Final and will look to redeem themselves against Ballina.
Lismore finished the regular season in second spot and defeated the Ballina side three times throughout the year, but the previous wins mean nothing in the Preliminary Final.
The Colts will look to overcome a mounting injury list, when they take on Casuarina on Saturday. The side was strong against Lennox Head in last week's Major Semi Final but will look to improve their set piece against the northerners.
Lismore has a 2-1 ledger over Casuarina and will look to secure a place in next week's Grand Final and seek redemption against Lennox Head.
All matches will be played at Kingsford Smith Oval in Ballina with Colts kicking off at 12:00pm and the Women at 2:30pm prior to the First Grade Preliminary Final between Wollongbar/Alstonville and Lennox Head.
