NNSW reported on their visit to our ground upgrades with local member Jodie Harrison.

The club is pleased to announce that it has received a grant through the NSW Governments “Community Building Partnership Scheme” to realign the number 3 ground to provide a second full sized field with the same dimensions as Lance Yorke.

The new ground will run east-west and it is planned to leave the old goals in place for training.

Works will involve,

• Relocation of the Cricket Pitch to the east.
• Turfing of the old cricket pitch area.
• Installation of fencing along the carpark end of the field.
• Installation of new goal posts.

it is hoped that the creation of a second full sized pitch will allow for the load to be spread from Lance Yorke while also allowing additional Friday night matches.
