Its taken a week longer than we would have liked but finally the 1st 4 weeks of the winter schedule has been released. It is a 1st draft and subject to change. It has been released to let people know when their games will be, some fine tuning will be required. If your team has a concern or request with the time or day of play please let your club know, and they will contact us.
There are some merged grades:
WA and WB
U14BA and U16BB
U14GA and U14GB
U12GA and B
Most of these have been manipulated to protect teams. So the draws may look a bit weird. This will be reviewed at our grading day after week 4, along with all our competitions.
There are late games on Friday for juniors, sorry about that, I will try and share this around.
We have 124 teams with over 700 players, good luck to everyone Season starts on the 28th of April.
