Will there be games and training at Bonner?
We have had a few questions from former Gungahlin United families about the use of Bonner during winter.
Capital Football granted Belnorth indicative access to Bonner with an assumed increase in teams and players from the Gungahlin region. This indicative access will only be confirmed once registration numbers confirm Belnorth’s need for Bonner.
If Bonner access is confirmed, specific team training will be granted depending on individual team preferences. There is minimal facilities and no equipment storage options at Bonner. It is likely that only U14 to U18 and Senior teams will be able to utlilise Bonner for games, with equipment needing to be transported to the fields for each game by teams along with the limitations with Junior referee availability.
