Field updates

9 May 2025

With the recent wet weather, we strongly advise you consider postponing your games and trainings this for Friday 9 May 2025 while we wait out this bad weather. At this stage weekend sport is fine to commence.

Please consider risks such as safety hazards (slippery surfaces, visibility concerns, and so on) and health concerns to both players and spectators as well as turf damage. play in rain will increase compaction and have a negative effect on the field for the remainder of the season potentially resulting in poor quality and unsafe surfaces.

As well as immediate dangers, please also consider the impact to turf surfaces as these can become dangerous and unplayable for games soon.
