Premium Content NETBA LL: THE future of Stanthorpe netball has been secured as construction begins on new multipurpose courts, worth more than $150,000. “It was very exciting to see that it’s finally happening,” she said. “The previous committee had plotted out the plans about four years ago and then last year we put our heads together to make some progress and that’s when we finally secured the grant.” Prior to that, the association was playing on courts at Stanthorpe State High and St Joseph’s School, as the McGregor Park courts became “unsafe”. “It was basically three grass courts with one bitumen court that was cracking and had grass growing through,” Vedelago said.
