Court works a race for club

BOTH Merbein Football Netball Club and Mildura Rural City Council are hopeful the Kenny Park netball courts will be ready as early as poss­ible.

The council has set a May 1 completion date for the upgrade – involving a second court and lighting at the Merbein home ground – which falls just three days after Merbein is scheduled to host Imperials in round 3 of the SFNL season.

A council spokeswoman said the club had been kept informed throughout the process and the date was reliant on suit­able weather for the curing of the new court, plus the contractor’s availability to conduct the extensive work at the site.
