Lismore Rugby Club's First Grade side host Bangalow in what is a historic day for the Coopers Far North Coast Union club.

For the first time in the club's history four teams will run out on to Rugby Park.

The Colts and Reserve Grade sides play Mullumbimby, while the Women's side play Ballina and the final match, sees Lismore's First Grade players face Bangalow.

Cody Johnston, who has been named Best and Fairest in the two Reserve Grade matches in this shortened season, has been named at fly-half with Mathew Bentley moving to full back.

Lismore beat Bangalow 28-10 in July last year and Johnston played an entire Reserve Grade match and all but 10 minutes of that victory in a truly superhuman effort. He also scored a try.

First Grade coach Ray Taylor is looking for a "better effort" than last Saturday in the rain at Casuarina when the side was flogged 61-7.

"We have had a heart to heart. The guys have experienced their opinions and we all know we should be more competitive than we are. That is what I am expecting," he said.

Prop Greg Martin, full back Willie Fairweather and winger Sammy Nilon, who has had an operation on his broken thumb, are out injured.

Bangalow are arriving in Lismore after a victory over Grafton last Saturday. They were 16 points down at half-time but won 23-16.
