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

Update on Chris Lane Field
To all EBC Members as Addressed
Just an update of what has been happening over the last few months. Other than Covid-19 of course.
After 8 years of pain, we finally have preliminary plans for the Chris Lane field and they look fantastic, I am having fortnightly meetings with council and I am confident that “dirt with turn” prior Xmas. The initial plans look fantastic, I cannot share at this point but once finalised I publish. My vision is to be able to not only play juniors but also women’s baseball and training. As this field will have lights we need to get as much usage as possible. There will be a 2 meter high bronze statue of Chris at the entrance and we hope to hold state and national games on this field. Exciting times ahead.
The synthetic on the main diamond is due to be replaced but there are some immediate dangerous concerns being damage to first and second base. To get another year or 2 out of the main diamond the club has decided, in consultation with council, to put dirt around each base to replicate Altona These works will happen in the next 3 weeks and will coincide with the first base bullpen works.
Luke has organised a concrete path from rooms to gym to finish that area off and it looks amazing ( well done Luke) we are continually creating the best grass roots facilities in the country for baseball.
We have received 3 grants to the value of 11K all up driven by Ros Gowty which is an amazing effort, we thank Ros for her efforts
The academy is going strong and EBC continues to be the leader in all aspects of the game.
Pre summer season training dates will be released soon and I hope you are all as excited as I am for the summer season
Don’t forget, if you have any injuries, Luke is on site every day and we have the gym and hitting tunnels ready for anyone who wants to start their pre season early
EBC Love to you all, you proud president
Tony Cornish
