Country Rugby League have announced that this weekend's Round Five Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley Cup matches between the Newcastle Knights Development Squad and North Coast in Wingham have been rescheduled due to inclement weather conditions and ground closure. All parties have agreed to the rescheduling of these matches for Friday, March 30 at Harry Elliott Park, Forster. The Andrew Johns Cup match will be played at 12pm, followed by the Laurie Daley Cup at 1.15pm. CRL Elite Pathways Manager Matt Parish said that whilst unfortunate, the correct decision has been made. “The adverse weather conditions have created unsafe conditions for our players, families and supporters to travel in, along with the closure of grounds within the region," said Parish. "I congratulate all parties involved for coming to an agreed time for the re-scheduled match at short notice." The semi-finals of the Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley Cups will be played at Apex Oval, Dubbo on Saturday, April 7.
