Battle of the Roos

There will be bragging rights on the line as the Sunbury Kangaroos cricket and football clubs do battle for a good cause.

The two clubs will face on 15 February in their annual Pink Stumps Day T20 match and raise money for the McGrath Foundation.

There will be a number of activities on the day, with a local FIDA team to play a match beforehand and getting the juniors involved.

There will also be a cricket sponsors’ lunch.

The annual game has returned the past couple of years after Covid-19 put a hold on the game for a few years.

Cricket president Hayden Humphrey said it was something the club really looked forward to.

He said they encouraged the local community to come down and get involved in a good day and donate to a good cause

“We want to build that culture and build the community between the cricket and footy clubs,” he said.

“Anything to help out the McGrath Foundation which is now for all cancers.We’re looking forward to raise as much money as possible.”

Football president Marc Bullows said taking part in this game is an honour.

“We enjoy the day with a bit of banter and fun, but most of all we care about the cause and we hope that the football club’s participation can help raise more money.”

The cricket club leads the clash 4-2.

The game will be played at Boardman Reserve with the main game at 1.30pm.
