7 July 2020
Hello all players, clubs, umpire groups and league executive members,
As you would have heard the Premier of Victoria announce today, the Melbourne Metro area (including the Mornington Peninsula) has now gone into lockdown for at least a 6 week period.
This means that our home and away season for 2020 has now been cancelled.
If the government allows later in the year, we may be able to conduct a mini round robin type of competition, but based on government restrictions, this would not be able to take place until at least September. This will be dependent on a number of factors but obviously there will need to be a club appetite in the first place.
We understand the frustration all this brings, however, the MPJFL has always stated that we will follow the guidance and authority of the Victorian Government firstly.
We want to thank all clubs for the hard work in preparing for this year. We really feel for our club volunteers, the kids, and everyone involved in our great game, but we have to do the right thing in regards to the health and safety of our community. Please let it be known that we are already preparing and working hard for season 2021.
The MPJFL will send out further information regarding all other pressing issues in the next few days, but for now please stay safe and try to remain positive.
Kind regards,
Andrew Souter
President
Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League
