GAME CANCELLATIONS - 1st & 2nd July 2023

30 Jun

NRF have advised there will be cancellations this weekend - working with Auckland Council to preserve grounds. Meadowland Inhouse is also affected.

With grounds across Auckland reaching saturation point and showing signs of damage, which will come as no surprise, we've had a clear directive from Auckland Council to restrict play this weekend. Taking heavy rain forecast over the weekend into account, playing on grass this weekend will only cause damage that will take weeks to recover from.

Following the Council directive to preserve fields and help get more games played over the whole season, we have decided to:

Cancel all Auckland community junior, youth and senior football this weekend
Selected Knockout Cup matches have been shifted onto artificial turf to get them played (see list below)
These competitions will play as scheduled:

LOTTO NRFL Youth girls and mixed
LOTTO NRFL Men's and women
NRF Men's League One
NRF Women's Conference
NZF Northern League
