Warwick Cowboys officials, players and supporters held their collective breaths as flood water rose early in the week spilling across Fr Ranger Oval, hoping the water would not make it into the club house.
Fortunately, as this edition goes to press the water got to with 75 ml of the doors to the clubhouse and while that is good news there is grave concern for the state of the footy field.
The club invested heavily in the playing surface during the off season, and it is heartbreaking that before a ball has been kicked in an official game it has been inundated.
Club Secretary Candy Grew said the executive would meet on Tuesday night to discuss “where to from here” for this weekend’s scheduled home games and will like press pause on playing the game at their headquarters.
Grew said that if the ground is unplayable the club has a couple of options which include the possibility of moving the game to Collegians Oval or with more rain predicted approaching Goondiwindi to play the game in GoondiwindiS at Gilbert Oval.
Any change of venue will be notified by the club on their Facebook page and also on the TRL official Facebook page.
