Now it's all come to an anticlimactic and disappointing end.

Panorama's three-way tussle between Macquarie United and Parkes Cobras was reaching an enthralling conclusion with one round remaining, before the WPL season was officially cancelled on Thursday.

The Bathurst club could have made the finals with a win or draw in their last game of the season against Dubbo Bulls, in the case where Parkes Cobras were upset by Lithgow Workmans in their concluding game.

Cobras and Panorama were both sitting on 18 points going into the last round but the Parkes men had a three goal advantage on differential.

News of the cancellation was a big blow to Panorama who had been starting to put some consistent performances together in the run towards the crucial point of the season.

Panorama captain Ryan Peacock said the news was expected but it was still tough to hear.

"It was inevitable really but it's never nice to have a season cut short. It is what it is," he said.

"It was going to come down to the last day and we were feeling confident that we would get the job done. I think had we got into finals that we would have given it a pretty good shake."

Panorama had earned a tough 1-all draw with finals bound Barnstoneworth FC during their catch-up clash just before the COVID-19 lockdown took effect.

Prior to that Panorama had given their finals chances a big boost by claiming a 3-1 win over Mudgee Wolves.

"We had a few unlucky results through the season which ultimately had us where we were on the ladder," Peacock said.

"There really was that feeling this year that anyone could beat anyone on their day. That finals would have been anyone's game.

"It was hard for us to get continuity at the start of the season. We rarely had the same 11 going out two weeks in a row.

"We got hit with injuries and unavailabilities and that probably hurt us in the long run but there's not much you can do about that."

Western Premier League's committee confirmed that no premier would be announced for the 2021 season following the cancellation.

Orana Spurs were sitting at the top of the table on 37 points although Waratahs, just two points adrift, could still have claimed the minor premiership.
