Sydney first round match which will be played in Lavington, New South Wales, and
possibly the Second-Semi Final final which may be played at Football Park in
Adelaide, the WACA ground in Perth, or at Waverley Park.

 The draw is as follows with days and dates of each game included. The winners
follow the lines indicated for their next opponent. Games begin at either
