The Southern Football Netball League (SFNL) Board met last evening and resolved that the 2020 Men’s Senior, Reserve and Thirds Grade football competitions, as well as the Senior Woman’s football competition, be cancelled.
The primary purpose of the SFNL is “to provide football and netball participation to the Southern community”. We have worked closely with State and local government, AFL Victoria, other metropolitan leagues as well as all our Clubs to explore a responsible way to proceed in 2020, against the challenging background of COVID-
19.
However, in light of the recent outbreaks and significantly increased number of positive COVID-19 cases recorded in Melbourne, it has become apparent that the health and safety risks have simply become too great to conduct any senior contact sporting competition in 2020.
