The two fourth grade fixtures scheduled for Saturday were first cancelled, seeing North Nowra-Cambewarra and Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemens progress to next Saturday big dance at the Bomaderry Sports Complex.
Then late on Saturday afternoon, SDCA administrator Jackson Surman made the following statement.
"The SDCA executive committee has unanimously decided that all play scheduled for Sunday, March 21 has been cancelled due to the current inclement weather, while also taking into account the safety of all players in the SDCA in travelling to matches," the statement said.
"There is no chance for games to be played on Sunday based on current weather conditions and ground closures and we aim to focus on getting grand final matches to happen next weekend."
As a result, Norths will host Ex-Servos at the Bernie Regan Sports Complex in the first grade final, while Bomaderry takes on Sussex Inlet at Bomaderry Oval in second grade.
The final two-day decider will see Batemans Bay battle Ex-Servos at Hanging Rock Oval in third grade.
Then in fourth grade, Norths face Ex-Servos at the Bomaderry Sports Complex in a one-day match on Saturday.
