Tropical Cyclone Alfred has prompted a scheduling shift for this year's Australian Club Championship with the nation's top sides now set to clash on Saturday March 15.
Queensland and New South Wales' reigning club champions will lock horns at Brisbane's Crosby Park next weekend with the Sukkar Cup (women) and Bernard Power Challenge Trophy (men) up for grabs.
