The COVID outbreak in Shepparton has resulted in the cancellation of community sport this weekend. Speaking on Friday evening, a government spokesperson said, “”In the interests of not contributing to any further spread of the virus, all community sporting leagues across regional Victoria are asked to immediately cancel their activities for this weekend.”
A statement on the CHFL website says, “No CHFL qualifying or elimination finals will be played this weekend 21st & 22nd August. As soon as details on a possible return to play and how the finals series may look will be communicated once it is known.”
