Macquarie Stingers face the formidable Newcastle Blasters on Sunday at 9am whlist Coffs Chargers will play Northern Rivers Rock in the other fixture, also at 9am. Winners clash in the final at Oxley Oval from 2pm.
Newcastle was added to this area's round this year to ensure NSW Health COVID-19 protocols were met.
However, rain is forecast for the area on Sunday and Mr Dilley said the games won't be rescheduled if there's a washout. He explained that last year's results would be the criteria and Coffs Harbour would progress to the finals at the SCG should there be no play.
Coffs Chargers will play Newcastle on Saturday in the women's round, where again Coffs will benefit if rain intervenes.
