The league breathed a sigh of relief of Saturday, after news that three CHFL junior players returned negative tests following COVID-19 scares.
It was a stroke of good fortune for the CHFL, after two clubs withdrew from the season last week.

CHFL president Doug Hobson said the league would now talk with clubs to discuss the next step.
"We are happy with those test results being negative for the people involved and the clubs themselves," he said.
"We are going to have a talk to our clubs this week to see where they are at and what their thoughts are with what's happening around us, and go forward from there."
Newlyn and Daylesford made the decision to pull their teams out of the junior season on Friday, citing health reasons.
Hobson said the league would be respectful and mindful of clubs which have called it a day.
"This year was always about people that wanted to be involved and felt comfortable," he said.
"We've just got to watch this space and have a talk and come to a good consensus with clubs and find out what their want is."
Hobson said if clubs opt to continue the season, the fixture would have to be amended for fewer teams. While it is up in the air, he said all games had been managed successfully thus far.
"People are happy to be back to a small slice of normality," he said.
