WDFNL to discuss HFNL's postponement of matches

The Hampden league postponed fixtures from round one of its junior season due to COVID-19 risk.

Matches between Cobden and Terang Mortlake, and Camperdown and South Warrnambool, were postponed on Saturday.

Some matches were played before the remaining ones were postponed at Cobden Recreation Reserve and Camperdown's Leura Oval.

The decision came after the league was informed of a confirmed COVID-19 case at Trinity College Colac, which has some students who play with HFNL clubs.

"No doubt it will be a topic that we'll discuss and we'll take it from there," Murphy said.

The president said it would otherwise be a normal meeting with the league checking in on how clubs are going prior to the August 1 start date for juniors.

The board and club presidents will be among those at the meeting.

Koroit under 18.5 co-coach Joe Woonton has called for the HFNL to scrap its planned finals series due to the postponed games.

The WDFNL has an eight-week fixture without finals.

It will instead have a junior club championship as an incentive for teams.

The WDFNL season is scheduled to wrap up on September 19.
