Wairarapa United's struggles to find themselves a home ground next season are over.
An agreement has been reached between the club and the Carterton District Council to use Carrington Park as their base.
The Chatham Cup holders were facing the prospect of having to withdraw from next season's central league series and Wairarapa United president Phil Keinzley is delighted that concern has been alleviated.
"Carterton council has saved Wairarapa United by giving us at least a short-term lifeline," Keinzley said, adding that it meant he could go about the business of signing up players with the knowledge they would have the benefit of playing at a high-quality venue.
Keinzley believes the Carrington Park surface will be as good as anything in Wairarapa and welcomed the fact his club will not be in conflict with other codes.
