$2.8 million towers put to work
THE MPNFL season is all set to start under lights.
The newly installed light towers at Frankston Park will get a run when the ground hosts Pines and Frankston YCW in a blockbuster Round One clash.
Frankston YCW confirmed the news on 21 January. “Tonight, after 12 months of planning, Pines Football Netball Club President Jeff Svigos, Frankston Dolphins Football Club CEO Adrian Lloyd and Stonecats President Andrew Schneider finalised the agreement to play the first MPNFL game under the new lights at SkyBus Stadium,” the club said.
The match will take place on 9 April.
The lighting towers were installed at Frankston Park last year. The project was funded through $850,000 from the federal government, $650,000 from the state government, and $1.3 million from council ratepayers.
