2020 SIRU Senior Competition Draw Announcement

YAfter many reviews, the Final 2020 SIRU Competition Draw has arrived!

With some vast changes in terms of the competition structure for 2020, the draw has gone through a major makeover compared to recent seasons. In 2020 our Premier divisions (1st Grade Mens and Women's Xs) will include 9 teams; Albury, Griffith, Hay, Leeton, Reddies, Tumut, WAC, Wagga City and Waratahs. Our 2nd Grade competition will host eight of teams in 2020, with Deniliquin following Hay in the draw structure, and Leeton not entering a 2nd Grade team in 2020. With Hay and Deniliquin jumping up the grades in 2020, we will see only six teams in McMullen Cup, with three from Wagga (WAC, Wagga City and Waratahs) and three from the "Country" regions (Griffith, Leeton and Tumut).

The General Competition Byes will occur on Public Holiday weekends including, Easter, ANZAC Day and Queen's Birthday.
There are plans in place to have a competition round focussed on Indigenous acknowledgement involving all clubs, more details for this will come out closer to the season.

In 1st Grade and Women's each team will play 16 games across the 18 rounds, whilst their club will see 2 Club Byes during the season.
2nd Grade will play 14 games across the 18 rounds, as they will face the same byes as above and when the Premier Grades and 3rd Grade teams play against Leeton.
McMullen Cup teams will play 12 games across the season, their participants will certainly enjoy the additional weeks off, but will play two teams on an extra occasion possibly while the rest of the club has a bye.

Finals will begin on the 29th August with the top four teams from each grade qualifying, and Grand Finals will be held on the 12th September with Championships for all four grades up for grabs at one location.
