The New Lambton Eagles Football Club has disowned its community juniors over a long-running rift that has most recently flared up around a proposed basketball stadium that the Junior Club secretary has claimed will displace players and place onerous pressure on their code as green space in the suburb comes in short supply.
In an incendiary statement released after this masthead reported on the issue on Wednesday, April 3, the New Lambton Eagles accused the juniors of 'lacking vision' and of bringing the club's badge into disrepute by "pursuing personal agendas at the expense of the club's reputation."
