Katikati Cricket Club Faces Damage from Vandalism

The Katikati Cricket Club members are disheartened after recent vandalism left their turf in tatters. Vehicles have caused significant gouges, prompting an urgent need for repairs.

Club president Ben Warren discovered the damage while preparing for a match. The turf, shared with Katikati Football Club, suffered deep grooves from joyriders making donuts overnight. Members estimate hours of work required to restore the surface, given the unique turf conditions that only grow during warmer months.

Frustration is palpable among the club members, who stress the importance of the turf for community sports. They are seeking any information on the vandals and have offered a reward for tips leading to their identification.
