Albury Thunder lights enable Friday night junior rugby league
Eight light towers at Sarvaas Park open Friday night games and let more kids join rugby league alongside other sports.
Eight light towers have been installed at Sarvaas Park in North Albury after a $442,000 investment. The club says the brighter lights mean both grounds can be used at once instead of coaches sharing cramped space.
Friday night games will let kids who play Australian rules or soccer also take up rugby league. The club expects significant improvement to participation.
Lights will run most days during the season except Sundays.

Why it mattersRegional clubs that can offer more playing times attract and keep more young players, and choice across sports matters when kids live in smaller towns.
AustraliaJunior sport clubs across regional NSW now see a working example of how lights and shared grounds can unlock growth in their own communities.
