Grant for new goal post pads
Peninsula Swans Junior AFL Club has received a $2000 grant to purchase new goal post pads.
"The club, based at Rogers Park, provides local juniors on the Peninsula a fantastic entry point into the sport," said Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch.
She said the funding from the NSW Government's Local Sport Grant Program was a necessary step to protect players on the field.
"It's important to ensure our sporting athletes are protected on the field," she said.
"The inclusion of the new safety pads at Rogers Park means that all our local athletes can be safe on while getting active and participating in our community sports.
Club president Ms Lara Davis said: "Other than safety, the new bright red pads highlight the posts and advertise the club.
"The goal posts pads used were previously old and unsafe."
