Lalor United Sloga Football Club
Bronwyn HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (19:10): (1046) My adjournment question is for the Minister for Community Sport. The Lalor United Sloga Football Club has been playing in the electorate of Thomastown for the last 46 years. The club has provided great sporting opportunities for children and young people throughout this time, and we all know how important physical activity is and also the sense of belonging that team sport gives us. This year the club is supporting the sporting dreams of over 250 young people as well as a strong senior men’s team. Our Allan Labor government has backed this club to grow, providing funds for FIFA-standard lighting that increases capacity and allows training and games to be held every night during the season. However, this year they have not had enough women to field a seniors team, so the club would like the minister to join with me in meeting the Lalor United Sloga club to look at the new facilities as well as to discuss ways to attract more women to the club.
