Italo Stars will go into the weekend with home ground advantage as they meet up with Byron Bay in the major semi final tomorrow at 2.00pm.

Stars on recent form should be considered favourites but with little between the two sides and the fact that Byron are still smarting from their failure to defend the title they won last year an upset could be on the cards.

Byron will be without suspended defender Chris Cranmer while Stars should be at full strength.

In the sudden death semi Goonellabah will have to contend with a road trip as well as a very tough match when they meet Maclean at Wherrit Park.

Both sides have been inconsistent over the year but with home ground advantage Maclean should have the edge. They will also be keen to finish the season on a huge high as they depart for North Coast Premier League in 2008.
