The decision was made to not play on Sunday after the NSW Government announced a tightening of restrictions for regional areas.
While this weekend will look a bit different, with precautions in place, Group 20 Operations Manager Rocci DiSalvatore is hopeful the round will get played.
"They will be able to play, but they will be under really strict COVID restrictions," he said.
"They have to make sure they have a COVID officer, that they sanitise everywhere, they have to make sure they don't allow too many people and the people that do come through the gate must wear a mask."

As for the games that were due to be played last Sunday, DiSalvatore said the teams will get the chance to complete those fixtures.
"Yenda and the Black and Whites can play in the second last round because they both have a bye, so we will slot it into there, and they will be able to play that," he said.
"We still have to work out the game between West Wyalong and Lakes because that is a difficult one and might have to be a mid-week game.
"We will be able to slot them in somewhere."
All being well and games being able to be played, the match of the round will see the Black and Whites take to the first time in a month when they face off with West Wyalong in the battle for second spot.
