Northern United and the Marist Brothers Rams will clash in the NRRRL Trophy Grand Final at Oakes Oval on Sunday.

The Rams have made the Grand Final after a come from behind victory over Tweed Coast Raiders and United defeated Mullumbimby 44-34 in last weeks Preliminary Final.


Both teams will be at full strength for the big clash, with the Dirawongs naming an extended squad prior to final preparations.


Dirawongs Team Manager Djaan Jarrett was happy with the week, "We will be at full strength, preparations have been good and we have had an enjoyable week with the club."



The Rams will look to their strong forward pack to lay a foundation, with Lochie Perren, Aidan Kennedy and Darryl Butcher providing the go forward. Backs Hezekiah McKenzie, Mitchell Krause and Fred Pitt, up against his old team mates, will look to capitalise on the work through the middle.


Northern United have talent across the park and will look to backs Eddie Walker Williams and the experience of Clarence Kelly to add some spark.


The Dirawongs backrow of Raymond Buchanan, Theo Hippi and Allan McKenzie will look to exploit the edges of the Rams defence.


The match will kick off at 2:50pm.
