REDLANDS Cricket will make history this month when Peter Burge Oval hosts its first match under lights.<\/p>\n
The Redlands Tigers will face Northern Suburbs in the opening round of the KFC T20 Max competition at Wellington Point on Friday, August 21.<\/p>\n
An official lights-on ceremony will be held at 5.15pm before the inaugural day-night match begins at 6.15pm.<\/p>\n
The installation of competition-standard lighting follows years of planning, advocacy and investment and is expected to open the oval to more premier cricket, women\u2019s cricket, junior pathway matches and major sporting events.<\/p>\n
Redlands Cricket president Sean Lloyd said the project represented a significant milestone for the club and the wider community.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs President of Redlands Cricket and the Redlands Tigers, I am immensely proud of what this project will mean for current and future generations of cricketers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The ceremony will also recognise the people and organisations who helped deliver the lighting project and showcase Peter Burge Oval as one of the Redlands Coast\u2019s premier sporting venues.<\/p>\n
Invited guests include Redland City Mayor Jos Mitchell or a Redland City Council representative, Division 1 Councillor Wendy Boglary, Federal Member for Bowman Henry Pike, State Member for Oodgeroo Amanda Stoker and Queensland Cricket Chief Executive Terry Svenson.<\/p>\n
The historic fixture will be the first of four KFC T20 Max home matches to be played by the Tigers under lights at Peter Burge Oval.<\/p>\n
