.

Although bore water was available, neither of these fields had a direct connection to the 'town water' supply

This was needed not only for the players and water bottles during the day, but also to make it
"quick and easy" for the field maintenance between games as getting the bore up and running is a two/three man job

Diamond One

The connection for this field was made from the Clubhouse and the trench was dug and flexible water pipe was laid ...

.

... and then buried

Diamond Two

There is a town water outlet not far from the scorer's box on this field
and John Tolentini was given the job of digging the start of the trench from this point ...

... and it was, quite simply, a rotten stinking trench to dig, with masses of huge tree roots to get through !!

.

.

The rest of the trench was dug and the flexible pipe was organised and cut to length

In the next two shots, you can see John still working with his friends, the tree roots !!

.

.

John got the job done ... and the pipe is ready to be covered

By now is was late in the day and 'liquid refreshments' had been organised from the Canteen
