Kingborough Twin Sports Field
The Kingborough Twin Sports Field Complex,in Hobart Tasmania, was constructed in 2010.
The ovals were first seeded with the Seed Research ryegrass varieties,SR4220 and SR4600 and proved to be a successful turf surface for all the Sporting Clubs involved.
Due to the ceased production of the SR4220,the ovals were oversown with SR4660ST Ryegrass earlier this year. The SR4660ST was chosen for it’s rapid spreading tillering which leads to turf recovery as well as it’s dark green colour and improved wear resistance.
These ovals are an excellent example of the variety chosen and the expertise of the groundstaff involved.
