Strathmore Community Bank Branch Bendigo Bank funding agreement

ANNOUNCEMENT

The Craigieburn Cricket Club has been successful in being awarded funding from the Strathmore Community Branch of the Bendigo Bank for the installation of rubber net edging at our training facility at D S Aitken reserve in Craigieburn.

Club President, Gerard Laffan, said: “This will improve safety for our players by absorbing ball impacts to reduce ricocheting balls. In addition, it will reduce wear and tear on equipment during our high-intensity training. The support shown by the Strathmore Community Branch of the Bendigo Bank to grass roots sporting organisations is welcomed and demonstrates their ongoing commitment to the Community.

Spokesperson, Rohan Jarvis – Acting Chairman for the Strathmore Community Branch of the Bendigo Bank said: “Thank you to the Craigieburn Cricket Club for the kind words and for giving us the opportunity to support your club and local players.

At Community Bank Strathmore, we believe in supporting the communities that support us. Grassroots sporting clubs play such an important role in bringing people together, creating opportunities and building strong, connected communities.

We’re proud to contribute towards the new rubber net edging to support the club in creating a safer and better training environment for your players.

We wish the Craigieburn Cricket Club all the very best for the season ahead and look forward to seeing the benefits of this project for years to come! 🏏”

The project would be staged over 12 months due to the high cost of purchase and the balance being funded by the Club.
