The Henwood Park Football Club will be celebrating 50 years of soccer at their Anniversay Dinner on Sat 9th August.

Ticket sales close on 6th August. For more details see the flyer.

In accordance with the Competition Rules 13.3, Football Wagga Wagga advises the following changes to Draws in the League Competition. All draws on the Competition Pages have been updated.

Senior Games

The Senior Vice President has directed that catch-up games for the Pascoe Cup will be played as follows:

• Wagga United vs Henwood Park: Wed 6th Aug 7:30pm at Gissing Oval
• Tolland vs Junee: Wed 13th Aug 7:30pm at Gissing Oval
• Lake Albert vs Cootamundra: Wed 20th Aug 7:30pm at Gissing Oval

A decision on whether catch-up games in other grades will be played may be made later, depending on whether the results could affect the teams participating in the Finals Series.

Junior Games

After reviewing the existing Draws the Junior Vice President has directed that the League Competition games cancelled on 19th July will be played in place of the games scheduled for Game 16 (ie the final game of the competition). This will ensure equity in the draw for all clubs.

Football Wagga Wagga announces the following changes to the U/14 and U/15 draws:

• U/14 Game 13 9th Aug: HP Tigers vs Wagga United Kingfishers will now be played at RP1, not Gissing Oval.
• U/15 Catch-up Game 9: Lake Albert Sharks vs HP Hawks will now be played on Wed 6th Aug 6:00pm at Gissing Oval

The Draw for the remainder of the season for Junior Girls games has been changed to rest Gissing Oval grounds. There will only be one Junior Girls game at Gissing Oval each weekend. All games scheduled to be played on G2 will now be played at Kessler Park.

See the Competitions Page for the revised draw.

There were two errors in the draw for Senior Girls for Game 6 26 July:

• Tolland Wolves vs West Wagga Knights will be at Kessler Park, not G1
• Junee Jaguars vs Lake Albert Sharks will be at Burns Park as per the original draw, not Kessler Park
• Henwood Park Kestrels vs Junee Diamonds will be at Gissing as per original draw

The draw on the Competitions Page has been updated.

The Draw for the remainder of the season for Senior games has been changed to rest Gissing Oval on Sundays and to assist with Referee appointments by having more games at one venue. In addition there will only be one Senior Girls game at Gissing Oval each weekend, with the exception of 2nd August, using the ground on the far side of the field. Burns Park is not available on 2nd August and the Junee vs Lake Albert game for Senior Girls will be played at Kessler Park - Lake Albert to set up and pack up the ground.

The changes are summarised below and the Competitions pages have been updated to match.

Note that the changes to the draws do not change the responsibility for ground setup and pack up: the home team for the first game of the day sets up the ground and unlocks the amenities, and the home team for the last game of the day packs up and locks amenities.

Recent rains have resulted in saturated grounds which pose a real risk of both injury to players and damage to grounds. Accordingly Football Wagga Wagga has decided that all junior and senior football will be cancelled this Saturday and Sunday 19th & 20th July 2008.

Catch-up games for all Senior and Junior League teams (U/10 and up) may be scheduled - keep an eye on the website for details.
