Some of the major regional competitions, like the Blowes Clothing Cup were cancelled nearly two weeks ago when Central West Rugby Union decided to abandon the season.

Others, like the Western Premier League (football) and Central West AFL, waited slightly longer before shutting things down.

But not everyone has thrown in the towel just yet.

The Group 11 and Group 10 rugby league competitions are still yet to do away with the season and there might be hope yet.

The Group 11 board is willing to play deep into October and chief executive of Western NSW Local Health District Scott McLachlan said people should "hold out hope" that sporting codes can finish off the year.

"We know that we can get on top of this, we know that the things that are difficult at the moment in staying at home and staying away from other people are the things that are going to keep us safe and it will work," he said.

"We'll stop the spread in Western NSW.

"The three crucial things for us, there's testing, vaccination and staying at home.

"They are the things that will help us get in front of the spread, help to slow the spread and protect people from getting seriously crook.

"I know it's been tough and not everyone has been able to go to work, not everyone has been able to see their family and friends," said Mr McLachlan.

The current lockdown is scheduled to end on September 10 but it looks as it may be extended.
