Stadium sets sail with great new look

-

REDLYNCH Central Sports Stadium will be back in business next week with a fresh new look when sails are replaced at the popular recreation site.

Owner Charlie Marino said the new sails would be made from fabric sourced from a French manufactur­er after “lengthy” negotiatio­ns.

Mr Marino said the fabric was made using state-of-theart technology and were vigorously tested to withstand the North Queensland environmen­t.

“While Redlynch Central Sports Stadium has been a focal point on the Redlynch landscape, the deteriorat­ion of the previous sails was an eye sore,” he said.

“It is hoped the new fabric will again bring the stadium back to prominence.

“The replacemen­t sails were manufactur­ed in Maryboroug­h and will be installed by Oz Rig Australia over the coming week under the supervisio­n of John Rebbechi, former director of Sail Structures.

“John’s experience within the sail industry will be an asset to the works during this time and we’re all looking forward to a polished finish.”

Futsal games will resume at Redlynch Central Sports Stadium on July 16 with the new season of futsal to begin in September.

The stadium was completed in 2009 and has hosted internatio­nal and local futsal games in the space.
