THE Surf Coast Cricket Club has received government funding for a new four-lane net facility at Banyul-Warri Fields, with construction set to begin during the coming season.<\/p>\n
The new facility has been greenlit under a Cricket Victoria and state Regional Infrastructure grant, which comes as the Suns look to grow their teams in the junior, men and\u00a0women\u2019s competitions.<\/p>\n
Suns president Ben Tekin expressed his excitement for the new nets, and said the build wuld have a big impact both for the club and the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project is a huge step forward for our club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen enormous growth in a short space of time and our current facilities have really been pushed to their limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cImportantly, this facility will help propel the growth of our four senior men\u2019s teams and our newly established junior and women\u2019s programs by providing them with the dedicated, high-quality training space they deserve to develop skills, confidence, and connection to the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith senior football launching in 2026, it\u2019s an exciting time to be part of this growing sporting family. Together, we\u2019re building something really special \u2014 a community-driven hub where families can belong, thrive, and stay involved in sport all\u00a0year round.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the nets would be open and accessible to the public, local schools, and other sporting groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about investing in infrastructure that serves the whole Surf Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tekin added the new facilities could be used for programs outside of cricket, further benefiting the growing Torquay area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE Surf Coast Cricket Club has received government funding for a new four-lane net facility at Banyul-Warri Fields,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-4024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
