Wednesday's double-header at Jelbart Park will be scrapped after the Victorian Government announced today that lockdown will continue beyond midnight on Tuesday.

Albury United and Boomers, who will meet in the men's final, both have a significant number of players stranded south of the border.

"It's not fair on the clubs that have got Victorian players in their senior squad," AWFA president Mark Leman said.

"We're in consultation with the senior coaches and clubs involved to find a suitable date that will allow us to make it an exciting event for everybody.

"We don't want somebody playing three tough games in one week so we've got to have a good look at the draw to see how that works out."

United were also set to feature in the women's final, against St Pat's, but the wait to hand out the season's first silverware will now be extended.

"We've got five or six guys that live in Victoria, so that's half the team," United men's coach Matt Campbell said.

"We're not going to be able to play with that sort of line-up and my understanding is that Boomers are similar.

"Maybe, if there was only one person (unavailable) you'd be OK but if it's four or five, that's not going to give you the best representation from either team.

"It's better to postpone."

Boomers, like United, are challenging for honours in the league too and the stop-start nature of the season makes that a challenge.

"We had a run of games where we were really focused to try to get some good results and it's blown up but there's nothing we can do about it," Boomers coach Andrew Grove said.

"The guys, to their credit, have been great. We haven't had anyone not come because they were sick of it or anything like that.

"Our seniors are doing fairly well but our reserves are doing even better, they're on top at the moment so the engagement, when you're winning, it helps a lot.

"I'd struggle to imagine what some of the teams down the bottom of the table are thinking with all of this stop-start when they're losing and guys aren't turning up to training.

"It would be much harder as a coach with that scenario but we've got a really good group of guys at training. They get along and the quality of training is really good.

"But I've found it hard as a player, having to stop and start, because I've had injuries through the first half of the season.

"At one point we had about six or seven guys out so that was really difficult."

AWFA bosses are now waiting on the next Victorian press conference to find out whether Sunday's league games can go ahead.
