Lavington Oval

Post: # 1653787Post Sainter_Dad »

Was anyone else holding their breath every time the players contested the ball near the boundary?

I know the brick wall was sloping, but I was so concerned that someone was going to be 'accidently' pushed over the boundary line and into the brick wall.

It did look dangerous.
Luckily no injuries from the match.

Pretty sure they would check the safety aspects out.

Phil Narkles? Rhyming slang or euphemism for what, exactly?

as opposed to galvanised tubing covered in tin advertising
or better yet the old picket fences cut into points
Its about the boundary space and the oval has enough

I would go as far as saying that Stkilda could only dream about having a facility as good as Lavington at Linton st
