“On the weekends our Auskick teams will be playing at the new facilities, which would mean 12 teams of around 190 players will play there either on a Sunday morning or Friday Night under lights.
“Our Auskick teams will train at this venue as well and in addition, this will also be an over flow training area for our junior teams.
“By having this second facility our club will be able to cater for the all the girls and boys that want to play Australian Rules Football close to home.”
