Instead, they're back on the waiting list.
Postponements have already wreaked havoc with their season, but their finals were meant to play out on Sunday, a game that will now be delayed, according to team manager and Western legend Marie Cornish.

"We don't know when it'll be officially yet, but I've heard it could be sometime in February, that's when the men will be playing now," Cornish said.
"Because of all the people coming in and out and the current situation, it's just not possible for the ACT team to make it here."
While the postponement is a blow to the team's players, Cornish is just glad that Cricket NSW have been able to get them playing at all, given the challenges present.
"It's a big honour playing at the SCG, but we're lucky to be able to play anywhere lately, especially with the challenges in Dubbo being cancelled," Cornish said.
Word came through earlier in the week that a postponement would be necessary, due to the inability of the ACT team to make the trip due to restrictions.
"We got the e-mail about ten days ago letting us know, it's tough, but Cricket NSW have done very well to keep us playing at all," Cornish said.
While it's unknown when the grounds will be available for the women, the men are still anticipated to take to the field in early February.
