Scoreboard for CLF

Chris Lane Field Scoreboard

Essendon Baseball Club is excited to announce that as of last night’s proposed budget, the City of Moonee Valley has pledged funding for the Chris Lane Field Scoreboard, similar to the one on our main diamond.

John Sipek, a long time supporter of EBC, was instrumental in making this happen.

The scoreboard was the final piece of the puzzle we needed to complete the Chris Lane Memorial Field project, and I couldn’t be happier.

We thank John and the council for their ongoing support of our magnificent club.

Tony Cornish, Club President

EBC love to you all
