Cricket Field Slow to Recover

The Murray Field cricket pitch has required extensive reconstruction after the ravages of flood and winter rugby use. The wicket will not be available for use this season. Consideration is being given to the long term status of the wicket, which has been an on going financial issue for the College. As there has been a dramatic increase in local water rates following the upgrade in town water quality, we are mindful that it is a precious commodity. We are developing a water management plan for the fields which aims to preserve the quality of the pitch but does not include watering the fields over summer.
