AFTER more than a decade and several relocations, the Twin Rivers Community Mallet Sports Club finally landed on a home back in 2021.

The club is a big part of the Eagleby community, as well as surrounding areas.

Not only do they provide an activity for their growing member-base, but they also work with schools to give students a new skill to master.

Following negotiations with Local, State and Federal Government’s, the club set up residence at Bedford Park.

However, the club is in vital need of funding assistance to upgrade two of their four courts.

The courts are subject to significant and ongoing flooding issues/damage due to lack of drainage.

Ultimately, the club wants to have four pristine courts so they can host national championships, bringing tourism and money to the region.

Member for Forde, Bert van Manen MP, is committed to supporting the club and is trying to secure $170,000 so they can get moving on the much-needed works.

But, this is where the community comes in.

Mr van Manen is calling on locals to get behind the club and sign a petition, to show the Federal Government the level of support there is in giving a Forde-based sporting group a helping hand.
