First off, we would like to welcome you to the unveiling of Victoria’s new local sports website! This is a site for sports fans by sports fans. If you want it, we probably have it (unless it’s lawn bowling, but if you’re interested in that you probably don’t know how to work the internet). We know some things take a little while to get used to. Hey, in 1889 the Eiffel Tower was unveiled to mixed reviews. Most called it an eyesore, some called it a waste of money.
