Hanwood's last-minute arrival into the competition, along with some other developments, meant the draw was only put together on Tuesday night.

Hanwood will mark their return to the Wagga competition after 18 years with a historic clash against South Wagga at Rawlings Park on Sunday.

Wagga United and Cootamundra will open the season on Saturday at 5pm at Rawlings Park.

A weekly 'match of the round' will be played under lights to assist with a 'critical' referee shortage.
