WEATHER CHAOS: SCFL teams can call off games early - but must follow steps
A statement from the SCFL that has gone out to clubs and match officials said: "SCFL are mindful that with the current severe weather – it is most unlikely that many games will be played this weekend.
"Consequently for this weekend only we are relaxing the requirement for a pitch inspection to be carried out on Saturday morning. Where there is little or no chance of playing we will allow clubs the option to postpone games on Friday, however, clubs MUST consult with their opposition and the match referee first before making any such decision.

"As per league rules premier and division-one clubs will be required to re-arrange the lost fixture within seven days and to be played within the next 42 days."
