AFL Riverina released their latest plans for finals in their two senior competitions on Thursday, with no change to their most recent proposal apart from the season deadline being pushed back two weeks.
Should the region come out of lockdown on Saturday week, as it currently stands, both Riverina and Farrer League finals will begin on September 18 and 19.
Should lockdown be extended a further week, the finals series will begin on the weekend of September 25-26.
If lockdown is extended any further, to September 25 of beyond, AFL Riverina will cancel the respective finals series and no premierships will be awarded.
"Both competitions will retain the current final four structure and be played over two weekends," AFL Riverina's latest statement read.
"The commencement of our finals series is dependent on the NSW Government announcement of the end of the regional NSW lockdown and consideration of any additional restrictions that may be imposed that were not already in place prior to the lockdown.
"Should we not be able to commence our finals series by September 25 and 26 and cannot play our grand finals by the weekend of October 2 and 3, the final series will be cancelled with no premierships to be awarded."
