25.01.2022 NRL Victoria has received a number of queries relating to upcoming competition schedule, other programs and activities being delivered by NRL Victoria, and what clubs should be doing in relation to the current COVID-19 situation. NRL Victoria had been taking advice from government through the Department of Health & Human Services and also specifically relating to impacts of sport through the Department of Sport and Recreation. The current advice is business as usual but to p...ractice good hygiene. NOTE: as developments are changing on a daily or even hourly basis this advice could change. As of yesterday, below is current message from Sport and Recreation Victorian re COVID-19 (noting that this advice could change). Health authorities are continuing to closely monitor the situation following the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Currently there are no known transmissions of the infection in the community in Victoria. All known cases in Victoria are due to travel overseas or through a direct link with a traveller. At this point in time our advice around major events/sporting events/creative events and other public gatherings is that they can still go ahead, and people should go about their lives as normal.

17.01.2022 Afternoon cowboys family, We as a committee have come to the decision that we are not going ahead with our non-competition age groups for season 2020. We have made the difficult decision regarding our juniors taking into consideration running costs of the club and the costs to the families and we feel it would be more beneficial at this late stage in the year for us to develop for next year. To resume hopefully under better circumstances in season 2021... Only our competition teams will be moving forward with this season. Any expressions of interest for 13yrs and over to be sent to our cowboys email address: [email protected] We are also doing background work behind the scenes, we will be apply for EOI for More Park so we can have a permanent foundation. We would like to thank all of our supporters and ask them to be patient with us and we hope that the families will continue to support us. There are still training and club attendance restrictions in place that will need to be adhered to moving forward. Thank you for your support an understanding. We look forward to seeing everyone next season. Your Sunshine Cowboys committee.
