T G Millner Field

T G Millner Field is in the northwestern Sydney suburb of Marsfield and is the home ground of Eastwood Rugby Club, a rugby union team that competes in the Shute Shield competition. HistoryIn 1952, Vimiera Recreation Grounds, a company associated with Eastwood Rugby, purchased 4 and a half acres of land a mile and a half north-east of Eastwood railway station for the construction of a sporting complex for Eastwood Rugby. At the time sporting clubs only had access to fields owned and maintained by suburban councils and this purchase was made possible by a loan from Colonel Tom Millner MC VD. The clubhouse and oval were built by volunteers and after 1963 and the development of dressing rooms, all home games were played at Marsfield. Additional land was bought in 1967 increasing the site to more than 16acre. Three full sized playing fields which have been floodlit since 1969, are available for games and training. The grandstand was also constructed in 1969. In 2017, Vimiera Recreation Grounds, the owners of T G Millner field, advised that the ground had been sold to North Ryde RSL.
