The 1st Semi between Torrens Valley v Hahndorf is being played the following Saturday (At Echunga ?).
I think the plan is to hold the 1st semi final at the loser of the second semi finals ground (Uraidla/Echunga). And the prelim will be at the winners ground (Echunga or Uraidla) as the winner goes straight through to the GF.
Grand Final at Balhannah.
I'm still trying to stomach the 3 week rest.... Not pointing fingers at anyone, but this has to be the worst programming I have ever seen. Regardless of the reason, and other things organised.... I really believe it is going to give the "winner" of the qualifying final, a major disadvantage. Yes, they may be fresh, have every player available and not sore.. but surely they will be a bit sluggish.
Has Uraidla or Echunga put any plans in place for this three week break? I.e. practice matches, game simulations etc?
