The WFNL and HDFNL boards will discuss the fixture this week after another weekend of play was lost to lockdown

Community sport will be able to go ahead this weekend without spectators after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced regional Victoria's lockdown would be ending from 11:59pm on Monday.

The number of people allowed to attend community sport is "limited to minimum number of people required to participate in and facilitate the activity".

The impact from the no spectator rules is still a factor when deciding a way forward to continue the season.

The WFNL and HDFNL have yet to comment as to whether this weekend's games will go ahead.

EARLIER, Friday:

The Wimmera Football Netball League and Horsham District Football Netball Leagues will meet early this week to discuss their next moves, after another weekend of community sport was lost to lockdown.

Both leagues resumed playing last week after a three week layoff which saw them lose two rounds of competition.

The WFNL scrapped rounds 13 and 14, while the HDFNL deleted rounds 14 and 15 from the back end of the season so they could play their round 11 fixture.

AFL Wimmera Mallee manager Jason Muldoon told the Mail-Times that the WFNL board will meet on Monday night, while the HDFNL board will meet on Tuesday night.

"They will discuss scenarios and see what's available but again it's going to depend on what the Government announcements are," Muldoon said.

"We're in that holding pattern."

As it stands every team in the HDFNL has played each other once, while in the WFNL round 16 (scheduled for August 7) has to be played to ensure the same can happen.

With HDFNL finals series set to begin August 21 and the WFNL equivalent a week later, there is the possibility that finals could potentially be moved forward or pushed back to ensure they are played.

AFL Victoria has said leagues can reschedule finals matches, including grand finals, at their own discretion.

Boards will have a tough decision on what are the next steps to continue community sport and balance the rounds and finals against the eagerness from players to play as many games as they can due to the shortened seasons from previous lockdowns.
