After months of negotiating, weeks of waiting, days of digging and countless hours of dreaming ..... Mortimer Oval will soon have lights!!
"Due to lack of lighted grounds suitable for AFL in the downtown area, the committee last year were able to secure a grant to install two light towers on Mortimer Oval, which is nearing it's completion. Once up and running, this shot in the arm for local AFL certainly thrusts it into the local limelight in what is certainly Rugby heartland. This addition, along with the All-New, Regulation size goalposts that were installed prior to the Pre-Season, has been a blessing for this club and will give AFL a very strong case in the Northern Rivers area, with the full backing of AFL Queensland" - Josh Box, President.
The lights will be installed before the season's first bounce in two weeks time.
