The Ellinbank & District Board of Management last night decided there would be NO SENIOR football this Saturday (Round 10).
The following Junior matches are scheduled for this Saturday.
THESE MATCHES ARE NOW SUBJECT TO WEATHER PERMITTING and a decision on whether they proceed will be made tomorrow if not sooner. Unlikely to proceed though based on what I've heard about the weather in recent hours.
Under 16.5s & 18.5s :
Longwarry v Neerim Neerim South
Buln Buln v Ellinbank
Note in the Under 18.5s Poowong played Lang Lang on Good Friday (which was part of R10) so Trafalgar still have the bye
In the Under 16.5s Poowong did not wish to play , Catani are restricted and Yarragon have the bye .
Game start times can be altered by the competing clubs if they wish but must notify the League by 4pm Thursday if you chose to do so , otherwise the normal 9am and 10.38am start times. There will be no admission cost to enter the grounds but a gate raffle by the home clubs can be run if so desired .
QR Codes must be utilised and Covid Safe Protocols followed as per current restrictions .
All going well our Senior season will resume with Round 11 on Saturday 19 June when it is anticipated the State Government / health department restrictions will not be too onerous for clubs to meet and hopefully the greater Melbourne restrictions will either cease or be eased.
Important to note the Senior season on 19 June will recommence with R11 followed by R8, R9 &R10 replacing R12, 13 &14. This will ensure all teams play each other once ( a Covid By Law to allow our finals to proceed) before we revert back to the original schedule from R15 onwards.
This would mean NNS, Ellinbank & Trafalgar all play 16 matches (because they drew the bye in R12, 13 &14 and all the other clubs play 15 matches.
As a result the senior ladder positions will be determined by % games won like we do in the junior grades.
