GAME DAY/TRAINING SHIRTS AND SHORTS. By Ben Loughnane. Gday everyone this year we are trying something different and using TNF to create some game day/training shirts and shorts for us. Go to the link to make your order, on the site you choose your size of the shirt and shorts and if you want to add your last name and number to the shirt at no extra cost. Also you can choose if the shirt is long or short sleeve if you choose long it will cost $4 extra. Once you have ordered you pay for it there then it will get sent to the club once completed and we will hand it out from there. The site will close on the 12th of September so if anyone doesn’t have your order in by then you will not be able to. If anyone has any questions just ask. https://www.tnfcricket.com/ballan-online-store |
