With the impacts of Alfred widespread in our community, we are urging everyone to please help protect our fields and the safety of our players.

Over the next 48 hours, entering flooded playing fields is extremely high risk due to hidden dangers and hazards. If you see anyone in flooded playing fields, please notify us ASAP. Parents, if you see your children leaving the house with boogie boards, please ensure they are not going to play in dangerous, flooded playing fields.

Over the next week, playing fields need time to recover. Even if the sun is out, you must not enter the fields for any reason if they are closed. This includes scheduled training sessions. Every footprint can do damage, and this damage can be dangerous to players when the fields do eventually open.

We are urging the community to please respect and help protect our fields. If you would like to report something, or if you have any questions, please phone 0413 77 33 20.
