The team line-ups for 2023 Central North preliminary finals

In first grade, the Red Devils will be looking to bounce back, after being well-beaten by Pirates in last weekend's qualifying final, when they tackle a Moree side hoping to charge their way to their first grand final since 2015.

The Red Devils have made a number of changes.

Naming an extended squad, with three to be omitted, they have notably brought veteran Matt Hannay into hooker, pushed half-back Dan Rorke to five-eighth with Ben Maunder coming in at nine, while Emori Waqavulagi will shift back to the wing with Marcus Hayne moving to fullback.

The Bulls have just the two changes, with James Gall coming into the front row and Ian Ranger reverting to six.

The Bulls will also be in action in second grade, taking on Barraba while in the women's clash to kick things off Narrabri play defending champions Pirates.

Entry is $10.

Gates open at 10.30am ahead of the first game at 11.45am, and as always you will be able to follow the action in the Leader's live blog.
