Again we are forced to relocate games across this weekend with several grounds not playable. Thanks to the clubs hosting additional games and to all for your understanding.
All efforts were made to relocate games to alternative venues last weekend to get players and teams onto the fields, but confirmation came in that an increasing number of grounds were unplayable and closed, both here in the Shire and in the St George district.
A revised finals format over 2 weeks for Sthn Sydney Conference competitions, Southern Corridor competitions and CJRL competitions is now confirmed, and planning for fixtures and venues is underway and should be finalised within the next few weeks.
Clubs should remember that it may not be possible for the day of play to remain the same during finals due to limited numbers of venues available and the volume of games to be played. Already we have advised clubs that Sunday 1 September is our only access to Shark Park for finals and we will be looking to schedule Power Waste Management open age competition grand finals on this date.

Team of the Week
The Team of the Week is Menai girls leaguetag U9s, who after weeks of relentless effort and dedication on the training ground, finally tasted victory recently winning their first game of the season. Their hard work paid off as they broke their losing streak with a thrilling and well-deserved win. The players showcased resilience, determination, and a renewed sense of teamwork, reflecting the countless hours spent honing their skills and strategies. This triumph marks a turning point for the team, igniting hope and confidence for the rest of the season
We love to see teams achieve something terrific like their first win of the season.

Team Liaison Officer
Each team must provide a “Team Liaison Officer” (TLO) who will act as a contact point for the Ground Manager during fixtures at CJRL venues. Should supporters /spectators from either club behave in a manner that would previously been dealt with by the Ground Manager, from this point the Ground Manager will engage the relevant Team Liaison Officer to address this issue with the spectators involved.
The Ground Manager at each venue will hold two Hi-Vis Pink vests that each Team Liaison Officer will be required to wear during the course of the match so they can be easily identified. The TLO is to make themselves known to the Ground Manager prior to the start of the match, and names of each TLO recorded on match sheets.
The Team Liaison Officer will be required to remain near the bench area for his or her team during the match, but remain outside the roped/fenced playing area.
Ground Managers and Team Liaison Officers shall not be permitted to drink alcohol prior to or whilst acting in these roles.
The Team Liaison Officer will be required to assist in resolving any situation that may occur relating to their teams’ spectators/supporters. ie: trying to calm the situation down before it escalates.
The Team Liaison Officer will work with and assist the Ground Manager. The Ground Manager still has the responsibility of maintaining control of spectators, interchange bench areas, and liaising with match officials, this is not the role of the Team Liaison Officer.
At the end of the match the Hi-Vis Pink vest is to be handed back to the Ground Manager (not left on the interchange bench or on the ground).
The Team Liaison Officer (as per the Ground Manager) should be a person capable of maintaining a calm demeanour and be a minimum of 18 years of age. Ideally the TLO would be someone closely aligned with the team but cannot be carrying out an accredited match day role (coach, trainer etc).
NO MATCH IS TO COMMENCE WITHOUT EACH TEAM LIAISON OFFICER BEING IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE GROUND MANAGER.
