The Outdoor Basketball Initiative, which is sponsored by Lottery funding, gave the opportunity to extend facilities at Bowey Field by offering free basketball posts on condition that a suitable playing area was put down first.
It was decided in February 2000 to install two goal posts and work on a tarmac area was planned.
The work was completed in October 2000 with help from volunteers and grant aid from NDDC and the Rural Development Area projects fund. It would seem that this is a popular facility, which is well used.
