Message from Sydney AFL
After plenty of phone calls, ground inspections and contact from clubs, the decision has been made to postpone all matches this weekend to the scheduled wet weather rounds apart from the Premier Division and Women’s Division One games.
This decision has not been made lightly with numerous club personnel consulted over the past couple of days, however after the unprecedented rain we have received which has already seen numerous grounds closed for the weekend, we will not be in a position to get the majority of games played. By only playing some of the lower division games it creates a number of issues for all on wet weather rounds in terms of player eligibility, ground availability etc
While the sun has managed to break through at times today, the forecast conditions will not see grounds dry up significantly in the next few days meaning grounds would be damaged if they had numerous games played on them.
Additionally, being early in the season, we are mindful of preserving grounds for a long season ahead and this longer term view will hopefully get us a few credits with Councils and Universities later in the year.
Also, being the ANZAC Day weekend, this early decision allows players and officials now not involved in matches the opportunity to participate in the 100 year anniversary activities.
At this stage, game times and venues for Premier Division and Women’s Division One will remain the same as the original schedule apart from the following matches:
Premier Division – Sydney University v North Shore moved to a 2pm start (remains at Sydney Uni No 1 Oval)
Women’s Division One – UNSW/ES v Newtown moved to 12pm start
Women’s Division One – Southern Power v Macquarie University time and venue TBC
