Kingaroy Junior Cricket Association – or the Kingaroy Flames, as they’re now known – held their first training session at their new $37,500 practice nets this week.<\/p>\n

The nets, located adjacent to the Taabinga State School oval, consist of two pitches, complete with synthetic grass.<\/p>\n

The 3.6m walls are higher than the old nets but, most importantly, the whole structure has a roof which minimises the chances of a wayward sky shot hitting any children outside the area.<\/p>\n

“They are now built to code,” KJCA spokesman Cameron Watson said.<\/p>\n

The new nets became a reality thanks to a $34,500 grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund and $3000 from South Burnett Regional Council’s community grants scheme.<\/p>\n

Cr Danita Potter handed over a cheque for the council funding on Thursday and said she was very impressed with what the club had achieved.<\/p>\n

Training started this week for the local junior cricket competition with the first games of the season set down for Saturday, October 12.<\/p>\n

Players aged from 5-17 years who are interested in playing for the Kingaroy Junior Cricket Association (or other local clubs) can sign up online <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy Junior Cricket will be running a Junior Blasters program again this season for youngsters aged 5-7 who are new to the game; and a Master Blasters program for boys and girls aged 7 to 11.<\/p>\n

Junior games are divided into Stage 1 (Under 11), Stage 2 (Under 13) and Stage 3 (Under 17).<\/p>\n
