The start to the season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was formally declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020.[1]
On 16 June it was reported that a number of clubs – including six Division 1 clubs – didn't nominate sides for the 2020 season by the June 15h deadline.[2][3] The season was eventually cancelled.[4][5][6]
Out of our nine clubs with A Grade teams, six teams decided not to nominate teams this year.
