The club would like to welcome on board David Tripodi and all the crew from Access Hire, Newcastle as a Major Sponsor for 2018.

globes at the flood lights at Darling Street Oval, which enabled the task to
be completed easily.

A sincere thanks to Access Hire for this kind gesture.

Two of our Senior squads are having their first hit out for the 2018 season
this coming Tuesday night, 30 January, 2018, under the lights, with full
