The fields have held up well despite the heavy rain in the last 48 hours.
The Coffs Harbour council ground staff have given us the green light to play, with limited fields. We will be starting at 10am today, using a revised draw on 13 fields.
The games will be reduced to 17mins, with a straight turnaround at 8 minutes 30 seconds. This is not a half time break so coaches are not permitted on the field during this quick turnaround.
We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the day. If play has to be suspended or postponed, 3 loud sirens will sound.

We’ve currently got some light rain here in Coffs Harbour (Thursday, 10am) but the playing fields are holding up fine at this stage and the tournament will be going ahead as per schedule.
If we experience heavy rain today and some fields need to be closed, we do have a number of contingency back up draws so the tournament can still go ahead.
In the past we have had to close some fields and even suspend play but we have always completed the tournament.
The Tournament Director will be liaising with ground staff regularly and we will provide further updates if and when they arise.
Safe travels everyone and see you in Coffs Harbour!
