Trevor Barker Beach Oval
Trevor Barker Beach Oval, currently known under naming rights as the Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval, is an Australian rules football ground in Beach Road, on the border between Hampton and Sandringham, Victoria.

After a previous unsuccessful application, the council received permission from the State Government to fence the existing playing oval in February 1929; the Sandringham Football Club entered the VFA the same season. The oval has a single grandstand (the Ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
