A year after laying a new synthetic wicket last season, a watering system has been installed at the Arnold oval.
The Redbacks received a $10,000 grant from the Loddon Shire to assist with the connection to the GWM pipeline and the installation of an in-ground watering system and storage tank.
The oval has been trenched in recent weeks, pipes layed and water connection apoproved,
The project will see 70 pop up sprinklers and 14 control stations installed.
Upper Loddon junior cricket will start on October 8. Secretasry Michael Rose said the draw would be released shortly and include a mixture of one and two-day fixtures.
Rose was re-elected secretary at last week’s annual meeting with Wendy Murphy returned as president.
Inglewood and Loddon Valley Tennis Associations will start their seasons on October 15.
New Inglewood president Aaron Lock said the competition would again include five teams from Inglewood, Wedderburn and Korong Vale.
But in a major change, team sizes have been reduced to six men and six women, down from eight, making Inglewood’s structure the same as Loddon Valley and Marong associations.
