Local outdoor sports players have had a hard time training recently due to high temperatures in the local area.

Rovers training has been cancelled on a couple of occasions and so has Rams training/selections but the Rams managed to get some in last night with the team training in short spurts followed by long breaks to keep players cool and safe.

Temperatures have always been a problem as readers may remember that some Football and Netball practice matches were cancelled last year due to heat which made preparations less than ideal but in the end did not cripple the Rovers preparations.

There may be some good news with current long range projections showing that temperatures in the early part of next week will be in the high 20’s before creeping up into the low 30’s which could mean at least one fairly comfortable training session.
