Soul destroying

Key points

• Suspected e-bike and e-scooter riders have damaged the turf wicket at Caroline Springs Cricket Club, ahead of this week's matches. Club president Anthony Rice was alerted by neighbours on Sunday 18 October and spent almost four hours repairing the playing surface the next day.
• Rice, who is also the club's volunteer head curator, described the damage as heart-breaking. He said the not-for-profit club raises its own funds and maintains its wickets without council help, and called for greater support from Melton council.
• Melton council was contacted for comment.
