Then if there is no time to get games played, take a point against Uni. That leaves Warners Bay and Cardiff with one game in hand only able to match them on the points table for 5th, but a mile off with goal difference. Surely Kotara's hand being forced here. It's a Round 6 game, one would suspect ample opportunity to have got this on.
They should have to play both games. Yes they will in all likelihood beat Westlakes but if they play that match that probably gives uni a better chance of beating them in their other fixture and is what Cardiff & Wbay will be hoping for.

A Westlakes forfeit allows Kotara to put all their energy into the Uni game which they will most likely win and lock up a finals spot.
