Recreation Ground

Over the last few weeks along with so many things in our state we are finding that the relaxation of the COVID-19 restrictions means our club and the sports clubs have been able to get back to the new normal. We are allowed up to 90 people in the clubrooms and up to 1,000 spectators to watch games. Remember there are also meals on Thursday nights after training and everyone is welcome.
