We are delighted to share that Diamond C is completed and will be ready for use! Thanks to the support from the Island 100 Initiative, we have successfully constructed 2 brand new dugouts, which now feature signage on the back. If you have the opportunity, please visit Bert Knibbs Ball Park, located on the Kelly Byam Diamond facing west, to view the Island 100 Initiative banner. The Dugouts created by Jayco Builders and we couldn’t be happier with how they are turning out!
For the Island 100 Initiative 2026, we have started to collect payments and cash donation receipts until end of November and we are still looking for around 20 new members to join!
