They had their opportunity before reynella went turf but knocked it back because the block and the oval were in such poor condition.
No foresight.
Reynella spent a lot of money and time to get it right and now its in great knick.
Yikes... that's a debacle of a decision. A turf oval and a hard wicket oval next to each other in your heartland at the largest school in the southern suburbs and one that plays in college cricket competitions.
And there is such a huge shortage of turf ovals around their area too.
Well played Reynella I guess.
E2014 - Southern's tried to swoop in at the expiry of Reynella's first contract, however the dot point "first right of return" stopped Southern's in there tracks
.
Pardon the pun but lets just say Reynella are on a very good wicket both from a playing sense and financially with the college.
2018 they had a crack too.
Promised the college all sorts of bs, luckily the property manager saw straight through them and stayed with reynella.
That was a very short term for the then president of SD. Shocking PR exercise toward community cricket.
Should put drop ins at artic park, problem solved
