Wet Weather Procedure

In general games are cancelled and grounds closed as means to protect the grass on the playing fields, however any game may be cancelled if lightning is visible.


On The Weekend or Public Holidays:

  • Assume your game is on unless you hear otherwise. If the game is not cancelled and your team fails to show, your team will record a forfeit and the club will be fined.
  • Check the Gwawley Bay home page. The decision whether or not to play is usually made around 7:30AM and should be on the home page by 8:00AM. Don't forget to refresh your web browser (Crtl+F5 for Internet Explorer) after 8:00AM.
    Occasionally a round will get cancelled during the day if the rain increases. Keep checking the GBFC home page for updates.
  • Ring your team Manager. If for some reason you're still not convinced, your team manager should find out by phone after 7:30AM if the games have been cancelled or moved.

If the round is on but some fields are closed, the Association will attempt to move the competition games (U11 and up). Non competition games (U6-U10) scheduled for closed fields will be cancelled and not played.


On Any Weekday That's Not a Public Holiday:

Look on the front page of this website after midday, or ring the Council's recorded wet weather number on 9710 0105. DO NOT phone this number regarding weekend games.
