With the forecast showing wet weather would hit late in the week this week's round was always under threat but 36.8mm in Thursday was the deciding factor with a few pitches still underwater late on Friday afternoon.
The washouts mean that Hanwood and Coro pick up three points each for the washout 40-over game while Exies Eagles and Diggers receive five points each due to the 50-over abandoned match.
It means Coro have closed the gap to Leagues to 10 points while Diggers are now also 10 points behind third-placed Hanwood.
It wasn't just the GDCA fixtures that were affected with the Creet Cup clash between Griffith and West Wyalong also abandoned.
The call was made on Saturday afternoon with the ground staff still unable to prepare a wicket for Sunday's clash.
Griffith will now turn their attention towards a representative doubleheader at Exies Oval next weekend.
Temora will be challenging for the Hedditch Cup while in the Creet Cup Griffith will take on Lake Cargelligo.
With a positive looking weather forecast for next weekend, there looks like there will be action returning.
