Afternoon,
League 1, 2 & 3 have commenced their Semi Final process, some have completed their first leg and others have not. Premier Division commences this weekend and they may meet the same obstacle with regard to the washout of venues. In addition to the email sent last week I now add the following:
League 1, 2, 3
If Leg 1 has not been completed then it is now declared cancelled; move onto Leg 2 this weekend, take all necessary steps to play the match (as noted below #2) if washed out you will have the opportunity to reset for mid-week to obtain as result – this match is now a ‘knockout’ match, winner is through to the Grand Final (#5). Extra Time for 1st Grade only (2 x 10 mins), then Shootout, other Grades to Shootout.
If you have completed Leg 1 and Leg 2 is washed out, the opportunity to reset next week is available; if this match is not played, Leg 1 result will be cancelled and the two teams finishing 1st & 2nd on the Ladder will progress to the GF.
Premier Division
Take note of the above direction and the information below.
________________________________________
1. Play all matches with safety a priority.
2. If you can move to another venue then do so; contact all clubs at your ground and contact Gail or myself to pass the change onto the State League Referees.
3. With the Referee involved decide if postponing 3rd & or Res Grade and only playing 1st Grade is viable.
4. Any matches washed out on the weekend will have an opportunity to be reset next week before Leg 2.
5. If these matches are not played by Leg 2; then the match is cancelled and Leg 2 becomes a ‘knockout’ match to reach the Grand Final. NO AWAY GOALS will be involved in the outcome.
6. If you ground has no chance of playing on the weekend, then contact Gail in the normal procedure for notifications of washouts.
7. Start your negotiations for resets immediately; the two 1st Grade Clubs will nominate a day for their match – in League Two/Three Res Grade will play on the same night; if League One, 1st will play on the determined night with 3rd & Res Grade either the night before or after.

How is King Park looking???
Wet
Here's hoping the rain clears up. The GF medal might as well be made of chocolate if 1 and 2 go through because of washouts!!!
Absolute joke of a system by the association. Here you have a situation where Hamilton are going in with a 2-1 lead ,yet if the game gets called they are knocked out?? Also if Terraces play acting antics last week are the Nest are anything to go by, may as well consider the game called off now, regardless of how dry the pitch is come Saturday. I don't blame them either, the association has made a major cock up here if you ask me.
They were never going to be able to please everybody.
Well technically they have between now and next weekend to play the match. It also says that it can be played at a different venue if King Park is washed out. So there really should be no concern about the match taking place.
Imagine all the droplets of water that will be around for the terrace players to trip over though. Time to get the mrs to invest in some napisan lads.
Terrace can't turn the sprinklers on at every ground in Newy
It is most definitely a rubbish system. Hamilton must be filthy at the mere suggestion that they could be out without a second leg, whilst currently winning the tie. Poor buggers.
So do we know who makes the "too wet" call? Surely it has to be the referees or somebody from the association, not somebody from the home club.
I'm confident we will get on still, teams 1 and 2 will want to earn their way to the GF, or be forced to live with knowing it to be a completely hollow GF win, and the medal to achieve nothing other than to bring shame to the trophy cabinet for all eternity.
I like chocolate
i bet the winners forget about so called hollow victories a soon as the 1st beer touches the lips. champions baby.
This is a joke. Teams need to play , whether it be at a different venue or not. Cant leave it up to a ladder finish. If that is the case , scrap the final series and make it a premier league style competition from next year.
depends on each clubs exact circumstances BUT generally the Local Councils have the right to call off any ground or grounds (Maitland for example sometimes do this Friday afternoon). If the grounds are not closed by Councils-
Each club has a responsibility via their Local Grounds Committee or Council that play will neither be allowed if dangerous or if it will cause undue damage. The club officials take this responsibility and can be fined by the Council for repairs or be legally liable for injuries not just to players but to anyone on the grounds if they allow play. Now the Association can not over rule the club on this, they can apply pressure only, as the club is the tenant of the Council not the association.
Then finally the match officials make a ruling based on their guidelines of safety and regulations on lines etc.
So it isn't just a simple answer, clubs can be held to answer questions on their decisions but at the time everyone is always expected to do the best they can.
Someone is going to feel robbed regardless. If the 2nd fixtures don't get played, and the first-game winners go through, there will be talks of how finishing higher didn't have advantages as didn't get a home final etc.
Hopefully all the feds (NNSW, Macquarie, Hunter Valley, Newcastle) sort it out for next year, similar to this:
First leg - at home of highest place team. Second leg - at home of lowest place team. If first game is played, and second washed out, the first game result stands. If the first game is washed out, the second leg is a one-off fixture that the venue is now given to the home team (so regardless of weather on either weekend, the higher place team always sees at least one home final). If neither fixture is played, the highest ranked team goes through.
OK
Hopefully sense will prevail, and the game remains the same as all over the world.
1st to the post, remove the Rugby League GF crap which exists in OZ, GF is there only for the 3rd, 4th and in some cases 5th place teams to recieve a second chance, bit late personally, win througout the year, and not bank on a 1 game result, to blow your trumpet and reign supreme.
Well in ZL1, the Suns first grade finished 4th, played the away leg first at Beresfield and won 2-1. Now, if the second leg isn't played, Beresfield still go through. Now that's harsh.
It's football, not s***er!!
