This was confirmed following consultation between the group and club presidents Jonathon Tickle (Old Bar) and Reuben Jones (Macleay) this week.
"Both clubs have stated that they will assist with match officials if the need arises,'' Group Three chief executive Mal Drury said.
The Pirates/Macleay encounter was the only match postponed last weekend, with games at Wingham, Taree and Port Macquarie all proceeding.
Group Three initially had four spare weekends for first and reserve grades and league tag in the original draw - May 18/19, the June lone weekend, June 29/30 and July 27/28. A full round of under 18 matches was scheduled for the Sunday of each weekend apart from the June long weekend.
