The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdowns and regulations have dramatically affected local football heading into the final stages of the season and makes it near impossible to predict an outcome.
Middendorp has admitted that it has taken some time to adjust to the new normal, adding that his team will miss their supporters in the stands.
