Some, like the New Holland and Westfund North Cup were cancelled nearly two weeks ago when Central West Rugby Union decided to abandon the season. Others, like the Western Premier League waited slightly longer before shutting things down.

But not everyone has thrown in the towel just yet. Group 10 rugby league is still yet to do away with the season and there might be hope yet.

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."

Competitions in the Mudgee Basketball Association have been out of action since the Western region first went into lockdown in August.

The association plan to make a call on what the remainder of the season looks like once lockdown has been lifted, which is scheduled for September 10.

Meanwhile, Mudgee District Netball Association have said should lockdown lift, finals will be played on September 18, but if it is extended once again, the competition will come to an end.

"For the sporting codes and for everyone else I think it may be a little while before we get back on the fields and playing grounds but they're the things we need to do to keep everyone safe," Mr McLachlan said.
