Lismore Rugby Club's Women's 12's side are ready for the challenge of Semi Final football on Saturday.

The side are out to defend their 2022 Premiership and will take on Casuarina Beach in the Major Semi Final at Red Devils Park in Byron Bay.

The side has had several epic clashes with the Barbarians throughout the season and this match looks to be no different.

Try scoring machine Lara De Jong will captain the side and will look to continue her good form in the crucial clash.

The winner will move straight through to the Grand Final with the loser having a second chance against the winner of Sunday's Minor Semi Final between Byron Shire and Evans River.

The match will kick off at 2:35pm.

The First Grade match will be played between minor premiers the Byron Shire Rebels and the Wollongbar Alstonville Pioneers and promises to be a great match, with both sides clearly the best sides in the competition this season.

It would be an upset if this clash was not a Grand Final preview.

Byron Shire and Casuarina play in the Reserve Grade Major Semi, with the U/18 Colts match seeing the talented Lennox Head side also play Casuarina.

The Lismore U/18 Colts will play their Minor Semi Final on Sunday.
