Note: No Tweed Border or JH Williams games next week due to Queen’s Birthday weekend. Go Eliz

But not for everyone, Veteran Women's State Championships will be held in Warwick over the Queen's Birthday weekend. We wish all participants an enjoyable weekend.

Tweed Border will be hosting the Under 15 Girls Qld State Championships,
5th to 9th July and we will need workers during that period, your club will have more details.

Last weekend 29th May, after the wet weather and having some the coastal venues ringing in and saying that their ground were unplayable for the afternoon games, and with Tweed Border hosting the Under 15 Girls Qld State Championships early next month, rather then create damage to the fields, mainly the circles,  we had to call the lower senior grades off for the day.
It should be noted that a decision has to made by 11am for seniors, so that clubs and teams have time to contact all of their players.

The flow on effect is that
D2M and D2W will play the wet round on Sunday 1st August. Draw to follow shortly.
D3W will play the washed out round on Saturday 9th July (this was to be a bye to finish on even rounds)
D3M will play the washed out round at the end of the season on Saturday 27th August, Instead of playing an extra round.

Your club Delegates has agreed that the Under 11 and 13 girls who have to play another 4 rounds to finish on even rounds. Come in one Sunday and play shortened games of thirty minutes and play all games in one day on 25th July. Draw to follow shortly
Under 11 Boys have to two more rounds these can be played later on a Saturday  with the Under 11 Boys playing at 9am and again at 11am more details later
Under 16 Girls have to play one more round and has with the Under 11 Boys this can be played on a Saturday.

The umpires report that Tomahawks are now permitted anywhere on the field as long as they’re not dangerous and this will be determined by the umpire.
