Drawing the Bathurst Bulldogs before the bye, the team withdrew and forfeited from that match.
Following the Queen's Birthday, which was also a bye due to NSW Country Championships commitments, with the team's Becky Eastaway part of the victorious side, the combined side then had to deal with the forfeit of the Dubbo Kangaroos' women's team.
And after all that, last week's match was a scheduled bye, meaning that the team has now gone without a month of football, and most of the matches missed were due to circumstances outside of the team's control.
But this weekend, the team is finally set to be back on the ground, as they travel to the Cootamundra Rugby Club take on the Tri-Colours this Saturday at 2.15pm.
With the two teams placed 11th and 12th, separated only by total points (Cowra-Canowindra are point ahead) and intriguingly, for and against (The Tri-Colours are winning that comfortably, on -12 compared to the visiting side's -225), there is a lack of surety about what might take place this weekend.
Nevertheless, as both sides fight to get themselves up the ladder and put up a strong showing as the season's business end approaches, it promises to be a cracker.
