“Season four of the SA20 will be unique,” said league commissioner Graeme Smith
“We’ve carefully planned the fixtures to make the most of the festive season and school holidays. We want the SA20 to be a part of the holiday season festivities in our once-off window for this year.
“With the early part of the fixtures weighted towards our coastal venues, holidaymakers from around the country will have a fantastic entertainment option fit for the entire family.
“We’re also excited to host new year’s eve and new year’s day fixtures for the first time. We can’t wait to be a part of the new year’s celebrations with the fans.
“Announcing the fixtures is always a major milestone for us and signals that we are well on our way to another incredible season.”
