Club rooms damaged THE club rooms at Baxter Park were badly damaged in a ram raid last week. The incident was the second time the building had been targeted this year. A statement on the Frankston Bombers Facebook page read that “the news came through at 4:45am this morning [26 June] that a car had rammed through our club room doors.” “Unfortunately, this is the second incident of this nature since February this year, where a vehicle has caused damage to the facility. The car was stolen from Frankston before making the trip to Baxter Park and reversing through the glass doors, where a man then entered the rooms. “Police are currently investigating, and we urge anyone with information to come forward to the police.” Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 to report any information.

We look forward to working with our clubs to create a safe and healthy environment for all members and volunteers moving forward.” AFL South East will draw up plans for an opt-in informal competition later this year if restrictions allow for it.
growing concern around the management of clubs during COVID and the growing uncertainty within the community, it was agreed that traditional MPNFL home and away season was not viable for 2020. Once it became clear that the long term sustainability of clubs was at risk, the decision was clear cut and needed to be made in a timely fashion,” he said. “COVID-19 has presented a very unique set of circumstances and we
