As everyone is already aware, the Bendigo Bank Maryborough Castlemaine District FNL wishes to confirm that this weekends Semi Finals have been postponed due to thunderstorms and the resultant flooding.
The photo of the Avoca Recreation Reserve taken earlier this morning (scene of tomorrows scheduled 1st Semi Finals) & taken after the Avoca River burst its banks does highlight the extent of the flooding in some areas. It should be noted that the welfare and safety of all those travelling did play a major role in the league’s decision.
The revised scheduled for the remainder of the Bendigo Bank 2010 MCDFNL Finals Series is as follows:
- Saturday 11th September 2010 – 2nd Semi Final. Venue TBC
- Sunday 12th September 2010 – 1st Semi Final. Venue TBC
- Sunday 19th September – Preliminary Final. Venue TBC
- Sunday 26th September – Grand Final. Venue: Princes Park Maryborough
As a result, the 2010 MCDFNL Grand Final will take place the day after the 2010 AFL Grand Final.
The MCDFNL can advise that it is expected that next Saturday’s 2nd Semi Final will remain at Dunolly, and the 1st Semi Final is likely to be shifted to Hedges Oval Maryborough - but a final inspection will be made after an inspection of both venues in the next 48hours and confirmed arrangements will be posted on the League’s website.
