Work Commences on New Oval

It was exciting to see the big excavator and grader getting to work this past week on the construction of our new oval.   This new oval will overlap with the old one but will also extend into the area which was previously planted to vines.  The old oval was hard and 'scratchy' as one student described it recently.  Even with plenty of water, we struggled to get anything like a good grass cover.  The earthworks machines have done some work to break up the old soil.  They'll also bring in some soft new new dirt.  This, along with a new irrigation system, should result in a lush green space for our students to run around, play soccer, AFL, and much more.
