we've had 10 millimetres of rain int he hour leading up to what would have been kick off
maybe the refs knew something we didn't
still seems a little too hasty to call tomorrow off
Lambton v Charlestown res
Called off about 32 minute mark, score was 1v1
I can’t see games being played tomorrow
Adamstown v Maitland res
Called off at half time 0v2
I think the answer to the forums topic is a resounding yes
Edit: back in the last century games were never called off once they had started and we would get excited about playing in the mud

Both games that were called off were in 1st grade and both at around the 30 minute mark.
Jaffas Azzurri 1 - 1
Adamstown Maitland 0 - 2
Will these games be re started from the 30th minute with scores as they are , or will both games start again at 0 - 0 ?
Judging by BarTV both grounds are now rooted
Just got out of a hit shower after 80min in pissing rain at no.6. Got called with a few min to go because the goal mouths were under water. No.4 completely under water. Not surprised Athtrack was called, there's been rain here in Cooks Hill consistently since this morning. Weird weather, our ref was surprised when be punted up, said he'd been playing golf in Belmont this morning.

Just drove past Myer Park on the way home from in town, both pitches looked like lakes.
Lot more rain has fallen in Newcastle than the northern end of the Lake.

If you are wondering if/when the State government will step in to address the football grounds issue, please don’t hold your breath. If you are a wealthy NRL club however………….
so with with Bureau of Meteorology giving a 70% chance of the current La Nina cycle continuing into next year, are any clubs planning on fixing drainage at their grounds over the summer?

a few of those, a working bee and you're all sorted
maybe a top dressing of sand if you've got a bit more cash, usually goes for about $50/cube delivered
what else are clubs spending money on?
Both ours were booked in for February this year. One ground for a drainage clean out on the 8 year old drainage, the other for a complete new system. Contractor couldn't get the materials so no works happened.
Booked in now for September before the cricket starts, main ground should be good for the drainage clean out, but the top pitch is too wet to get anywhere near. Lighting contractors got bogged yesterday trying to put trenching in and they were on the firm sections. Way it's going out lights wont be done for 2023 either if the wet continues.
So, if the rain doesn't stop for a decent period, our works despite being booked in likely wont happen and we will be down to one pitch again for 2023.
Hoping thats not the case.
