ROVERS BATTLE TO RETAIN PREMIERSHIP LEAD

The race for the Football Far North Coast minor premiership could get interesting tonight.

Leading second-placed Goonellabah by just one point, the Richmond Rovers meet the Lismore Thistles in a must win mid-week catchup match.

Player-coach Bobby Bugden will bring his brother in to replace missing midfielder Jake Nind, while the Thistles will field an unchanged lineup.

The game, held at the Thistles’ East-Lismore home ground, kicks-off at 8.
