Nossal High School has unveiled its new sporting grounds with a 50-over match against a visiting New Zealand school team.
Nossal’s senior cricket coach Ian Pegram said the grounds were an eagerly awaited addition for the school’s soccer, Aussie-rules and cricket teams as well as the PE program and lunchtime recreation.
The squads had previously had to bus to Sweeney Reserve to play ‘home’ games.
For the record, the visiting John McGlashan College team defeated the home side during the 3 October game by 30 runs.
“We had time in hand, but just ran out of wickets,” Mr Pegram said.
