Where we play and train
Toorak Park
Toorak Park is our home ground. The ground is currently undergoing a major redevelopment.
Men's and women's First XI matches will not be hosted there until mid-January, subject to ground availability.
We will continue to train at the adjacent turf nets throughout the season.

Waverley Oval is the temporary home for our men's 2nd XI and women's 3rd XI while Toorak Park is upgraded.
It will also be used for training activities.
