Wollongbar Alstonville’s advanced to the Far North Coast Rugby grand final with a resounding 51-27 win over Ballina.
Trailing 20 points to 19 heading into the break, the Pioneers lifted when it counted.
Ben Damen, Matthew Wright and Simon Perkins were among seven players who found their way onto the scoresheet.
The side’s incredible second-half performance, however, didn’t come without injuries.
“We’ve got a lot of guys that came off today with icepacks on their hammies so, we’re going to have to look after our rehab.”
Wollongbar Alstonville now faces an unbeaten and fully-rested Byron Bay outfit in next Saturday’s grand final.
