WA’s premier rugby competition the Fortescue Premier Grade has had its start date confirmed, kicking off on July 4.

All 14 clubs are set to be re-entering the tournament for the 2020 season with trial games set in the weekends prior to the round one start date.

Due to current state government restrictions crowds will be subjected a three-zone system set out by the local club’s COVID management plan, however it is likely restrictions could change before the competition commences.


RugbyWA’s livestreamed ‘Match of the Round’ will also be returning with one fixture being shown on the RugbyWA YouTube channel by digital supplier Local Media Services Company (LMSC).

Premier Grade replay’s will also be shown on free-to-air channel NITV with times still yet to be confirmed by owning network SBS.

Additionally, all ‘Match of the Round’ replay’s will be available to view on the RugbyWA website.

Continuing its longstanding partnership with the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA), RugbyWA will host two ‘Belt Up Rounds’ strengthening the road safety message for WA drivers in rounds 6 and 13.

RugbyWA CEO Bob Hunter said despite the delayed start, RugbyWA will be holding nothing back in delivering a first-class rugby competition for its supporters in 2020.

“Our clubs have been working tirelessly with us over the past couple of months to ensure the return of competition.”

“Getting back to playing won’t only be a breath fresh air for our players but also for our loyal supporters, members and volunteers who I’m sure are all itching to see our local players return to the field.”

“Given the challenges community rugby has faced to start the year I commend all stakeholders who have worked together in drawing up a safe return to play plan that has allowed our players supporters the opportunity to get behind grassroots rugby again.”

“At the end of the day rugby’s the winner.”

All fixtures, live scoring and ladder results will be available on through the RugbyWA website as well as on the Rugby Xplorer App.
