Souths vs Redcliffe

The Souths-Redcliffe game was originally scheduled for the evening of Tuesday 10 August but was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. This was reportedly due to a groundsman watering the field during the afternoon, only for heavy rain to fall early in the evening and the ground being unable to drain the additional water.
