THE NEST IS GETTING SOME LOVE
We know The SFL Nest means a lot to our players, members and community, so it’s great to finally share work getting underway on the playing surface.
After ongoing conversations with the ACT Government throughout this season, and ahead of the cricket season, work is now underway on our home.
The first stage started this week, with the playing surface being scarified and thatched to remove the thatch layer and prepare the ground for the next stages of the works.
Over the coming months, you’ll see different colours, patches and plenty of activity around the ground as the works progress. That’s all part of the process.
The current program includes further work later in spring, fertilising and preparation through summer, and ultimately rye oversowing in March to help get the surface ready for the 2027 season.
We’ll keep you posted as it progresses. 🖤🤍🩵
