VICTORIA’S recent lockdown and current restrictions has forced the Hamilton Football Club 40-year premiership reunion to be postponed.

THE local region will see a number of different sports resume over the weekend and into next week with soccer, women’s football, hockey and basketball all back, however the South West District Football Netball League (SWDFNL) will wait at least another week.
