IT’S been 12 months in the making but the Beerwah Bulldogs’ new scoreboard has been installed and recorded its first game in favour of the home side on the weekend.
The club received a grant last year to design and construct the scoreboard, which was ready in time for last weekend’s ANZAC Day round.
The scoreboard includes the newly renamed field – in recognition of life member Dennis ‘Slim’ Moroney – along with the club logo and scoreboard sponsor, Ray White Beerwah.
Beerwah Bulldogs president Steve ‘Ref’ Hammil said it was great to see the scoreboard finally operating and he hoped to soon secure further grants for other upgrades.
“We are putting in another scoreboard on our second field soon and will redo both fields, which would cost $215,000, but we are currently working on receiving a grant to fund this,” he said.
“My dream in five years is to expand the clubhouse, especially now that we will be getting the lease for the clubhouse and fields in June, it’ll be a great place to come and watch local footy for families.”
The club gave a big thanks to Ray White Beerwah and those who helped the committee bring the project together: Crome Electrical, Done Right Landscape and Design and Quinn and Son Concreting.
