NSW Touch Football Association have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 NSW Junior State Cup after just one day of action.

Since midnight on Thursday night (February 18), almost 120 millimetres of rain had been dumped on the area, forcing the fields to resemble a lake.

Shortly before midday on February 20, the decision was made to cancel the remainder of the event.

Play was originally halted until midday on February 20 following heavy overnight rain, but the weather conditions worsened throughout the morning.

"Field inspections have shown significant flooding and they are both unplayable and dangerous," a statement from NSW Touch Football Association read.

"Weather forecasts earlier in the week showed a 70 per cent chance of 10 to 20mm for today and five to 10mm for tomorrow.

"These have been revised to forecast continued rain throughout today and this evening with a 70 percent chance of 20-40mm tomorrow."

The bleak forecast had forced organisers hands.

"We are now in a situation whereby without playing games today, we cannot conclude the event.

"Even if we were to not play any games today, the fields and the required number of fields would not recover for play tomorrow.

"We know this decision will cause disappointment, frustration, and some anger.

"Please understand that the decision is not taken lightly or without due consideration of all possible alternatives.

"We can also advise that your disappointment is undoubtedly shared by the staff who have put in countless hours over the past three months with numerous complications due to the environment we currently live in to put this event together for the kids.

"It indeed leaves us, as it likely leaves you with a very hollow feeling."
