Peninsula Swans Junior AFL Club has been awarded $2,000 as part of the NSW Government’s 2022-23 Local Sport Grant Program 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.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the funding is a necessary step to protect players on the field.
“The inclusion of the new safety pads at Rogers Park means that all our local athletes can be safe while getting active and participating in our community sports,” he said.
“The Local Sport Grants Program aims to assist sport clubs to provide quality service to their members and meet community needs.”
Peninsula Swans Junior AFL Club President Lara Davis said the new goalposts will be a great addition to the club.
“Other than safety, the new bright red pads highlight the posts and advertise the club,” she said.
“The goal posts pads used were previously old and unsafe.
“These new pads will protect safety for all players and ensure the club’s prosperity.”
