Mininera and District Football League president John Box said he and fellow board members will meet, virtually, on Monday night to discuss their plans for the remainder of the season.

"We are sitting back to wait and see if the lockdown is going ahead and we will have a board linkup tonight to discuss it," he said.

In the Mininera and District Football League just nine games have been played, meaning no every team has played against the other once yet.

But Mr Box said the priority of the league was to make sure that at least every team has the opportunity to play against the other.

"That's our ambition," he said.

"We don't want to go on too long, but our aim is to have everyone play each other once.

"If they say there is no crowds we can maybe get away with one weekend with no crowds.

"We just have to wait and see what the government is going to do."

Mr Box said the league does have the opportunity to delay the end of the season, but doesn't want that to happen if it can be avoided.

Stawell Warriors who sit second on the ladder, missed out on their scheduled bye in that abandoned round.

At this stage the Warriors will have played an extra match on the rest of the competition by the end of the season.
