08.01.2022 VENUE UPDATE FOR SYDNEY ACA EVENTS IN MARCH 2021 For the Men’s and Women’s Singles, our aim is to have most of the Men’s events north of the harbour and most of the Women’s events south of the harbour. The finals and 3rd/4th playoffs for both Men and Women will be at Tempe. Women’s events will largely be at Tempe, with some events at Hurstville and either Strathfield or possibly Coogee.... The Men’s X will probably be at Cammeray, Killara, Eastwood and Manly, each taking a quarter of the field through to the quarter-finals. Semi-finals will be at Cammeray. Plate games will be at each of these venues on Saturday, then at some of these venues on Saturday, then at some of these venues plus Chatswood and/or Warrawee on Sunday and Monday. If we have 24 in the Men’s plate, it is likely that the semi-finals and final will both be on Tuesday, in which case they might be at Chatswood. The venue allocations for the Eire Cup are: INTERSTATE CUP DRAW The draw is seeded from the results of the 2020 Interstate Cup as follows: 1. New South Wales 2. Victoria 3. Queensland 4.
