Wollongong United and Port Kembla will host the rescheduled opening-round matches of the Illawarra Premier League finals on Thursday, September 10.
Heavy rain caused the postponement of the entire last round of regular-season matches last weekend, which will now be played on Sunday, September 6.
The move forces week one of the finals to be played midweek at Macedonia Park and Wetherall Park.
It is yet to be decided which venue holds what game, but could see United host the qualifying final against Bulli.
Week two of the finals will return to the weekend timeslot.
Dapto-Dandaloo, Bulli, United and Albion Park have already locked up their finals spot.
Port Kembla, Tarrawanna and Wollongong Olympic are all vying to fill out the top five.
Olympic meet the Fury and would seal their passage with a win, if Port dropped their game to the Blueys.
If Olympic lose, the last spot will be hinged firmly on the result of the match at Tarrawanna Oval.
Whoever does progress will have to back up four days later for the elimination final.
Corrimal and Fernhill will host the opening rounds of the District League finals for first grade and youth grade on Tuesday, September 8.
Reserve grade will be played at Corrimal on Wednesday, September 9.
