CRUM PARK - GOAL INSTRUCTIONS

The goals are stored folded up and padlocked to the fence.

Crum 1 - goals are on the concrete pad next to Tennis Courts

Crum 2 - goals paddlocked to side of fence

Crum 3 - goals paddlocked to side of fence

Due to the number of goals and how they are stacked for storage, the back base pole must be inserted into the goal before kick-off.

The video shows how to do this. Teams on pack-up are responsible for removing the base pole and returning it to the Crum Park shed. Two bins are provided for the different goal sizes—please ensure the pole is placed in the correct one.

To fit the pole into the shed, it will need to be separated in the middle. Hold one side steady and twist the other to pull it apart.


RATHLIN STREET - GOAL INSTRUCTIONS

Goals paddlocked to fence (road side).

These goals have the back base pole already attached. These goals are stored as a complete set. The packup team needs to move the goals to the fence to be padlocked.
