A sea of pink on the Surf Coast

ELLIMATTA Reserve will have a bright pink touch this Sunday, February 16 as Anglesea Cricket Club takes on Corio in the second annual McGrath Foundation Pink Stumps Day.

The T20 event will raise vital funds to ensure more families have the care and support of a McGrath Breast Care Nurse.

Anglesea Cricket Club’s Trenton Little said the club hoped to raise more than $3000 on the day.

 

“Last year at Corio was terrific, and we are hoping for the same this year,” he said.

“The McGrath Foundation is a very worthy cause with breast cancer and it now extends out to all cancers.

“It’s shaping up to be quite a big day. Hopefully we get as many people there as possible, and we can raise as much as we can.”

The special match between the two sides was inspired by Anglesea coach Brian Thomas, who also does some work at Corio.

“Both sides came together last year to hold the match, and we are glad it’s becoming an ongoing thing,”Mr Little said.

The men’s match will start at 11am, followed by the women’s match at 2pm.

Raffles, a silent auction, special guests and activations will also take place throughout the day.

Both Anglesea sides will be wearing pink shirts and caps, while the women’s side will also have pink pants.
