My question around cancelling rounds and the whole Halligans situation today. I know it’s something that doesn’t happen often but I think there needs to be some clarity from Subbies around what defines a “cancelled” round.
This week in Div 2 Round 14 was cancelled in favour of playing the catch up games so everyone had 14 games. No arguments right decision.
In Div 1 they played the played the Waves/ Lindfield catch up game to bring everyone up to 13 games. The belief is that Rd 14 is postponed till the wet weather week next week. But we still have lower grade catch up games to play in this division. So the options as I see it should have been
a) play them on the available grounds this week instead of the Halligans cup and JJC semis.
B) Cancel Rd 14 as all teams were unable to play and play all the catch up games next week on the wet weather week before hitting finals. This would have freed up space on these available grounds to either catch up the outstanding Knox/Hornsby game or to play the Div 5 or JJC finals that were scheduled.
There’s no consistency with cancelled rounds (I know it’s something that had never happened before last year) The top 4s in Div 1 won’t change (apart from positions) next week but there was clubs that could of qualified in Div 2. The rule should be if all games are washed out in a round and no available wet weather round for all clubs then it is cancelled.
Meanwhile let’s not get started on the finals make up this year. JJC Yellow 8 teams 3 week series. JJC Blue 8 teams 2 week finals series. Div 5 (before the rain) 8 teams 3 week series. Div 6 8 teams 2 week series. Is there a deadline for this season that we aren’t aware of? Why must everything be done by the 6th of September except for Div 1….

Is it right that the div 2 club championship came down to a late try in the colts game?

Petersham Club Champions in 2nd Division by 50 points! Congrats to them.
Hills way out in front by nearly 500 points in 3rd Div, despite no Colts presence. Mainly thanks to a 2nd Grade that scored a near perfect season of 74 table points from a possible 75.
Wakehurst Div 4 champions as well as first grade minor premiers.
Congrats to all.

A typical hero post from the cheap seats. If I’m not mistaken you are aligned to Petersham and surely not still bitter about your clubs demotion to second Div.
Not much to debate that Newport and Lindfield have had tough years and should bounce back stronger in 2026. Can’t see either club throwing their toys out of the cot and trying to prevent being moved to Div 2 should it happen. The carryon in 2023 was an embarrassment for two great clubs
