The Central Highlands Football Netball League season is on hold with the COVID-19 virus having brought sport to a standstill.
Hopes remain that an abbreviated netball season might be able to be played.
If this comes to realisation, let's take a look at how teams will shape up.
After an injury plagued 2019, Bungaree co-coach Kathryn O'Dwyer hopes a healthy squad will take the club one step further in the 2020 Central Highlands A-Grade Netball League season.

Bungaree just scraped into the postseason last year, winning its elimination finals match-up before succumbing to grand finalists Springbank.
With players set to return from injury in 2020, O'Dwyer said the squad had been looking dangerous prior to the COVID-19 shutdown.
"We were running around the lake and utilising the oval at Bungaree, and trying to get our base level of fitness ready for the season," she said.
O'Dwyer is one of two set to return to the court after tearing her Anterior Cruciate Ligament early last season. Thursday marked 12 months since her surgery.
Meanwhile defender Sophie Wade is also expected back after sustaining her second ACL tear.
The pair will join a Bungaree core mostly unchanged from 2019. No new additions to the team were reported.
O'Dwyer said it would pay to watch teenage talent Sophie Wheatland, who showed significant promise as a senior player last season.
After making a start in the club's B-Grade side in 2019, O'Dwyer said she was looking forward to seeing what Wheatland produced upon her return.
"She's got great energy, youth, height and she's got a great build for a defender," she said.
"She will be a great player."
