After a few wet weekends we have a big weekend of netball scheduled this weekend. We do have showers scheduled (not rain) so we will do our best to get all rounds played this weekend.

Wet Weather Make-Up Round

Court allocations have been updated in PlayHQ, with the relevant court numbers listed under each of the rounds we will be playing. Every effort has been made to keep court assignments as close together as possible to minimise movement between games.

Round 4 and Round 11 - All Teams

These games will be played as half-games within one timeslot. The first half will count as Round 4, and the second half as Round 11.

Under Round 4, you will see the court assigned for the first half of the match, and under Round 11, the court assigned for the second half.

It is important that the umpires stay on their round 4 court for the full game. Teams move courts but the umpires stay on the same court for the full game.

Round 10 – Inter 1, Inter 2 and Inter 5

They will play twice on the make-up day Inter 1 & Inter 2: Their usual 9:00am game, followed by a full game for Round 10 at 11:55am.

Inter 5: Their usual 10:35am game followed by a full game for Round 10 at 1:10pm. Court numbers for these games have been allocated on PlayHQ under Round 10.

Wet Weather back up round

We still have Sunday 24 August allocated as a second wet weather round should it be needed.
