New lights have been installed at Lofts Oval Brunswick Heads. The new lights will allow greater flexibility for training and field usage.

At a cost $102,000 the new lights are state of the art and were selected for their high luminescence, low maintenance, minimal light spill and economical power use.

The Mullumbimby Moonshiners rugby union team will be able to put the new lights to good use with some extra training this week in the lead up to their clash against Iluka at Lismore this Saturday.
