The Wicket - October Edition

To Our Cricket Family,

With the season underway some of Australian Cricket’s key sponsors are again providing fantastic support for community clubs and volunteers.

The Toyota Raffle is back to help boost your club’s fundraising and Gatorade are giving you the chance to stock the fridge ahead of some hot days in the field.

We’ve also got together with the Alannah and Madeline Foundation for the first Club Catch Challenge. This is a fun way to support an important cause and we hope your Woolworths Blast centres and junior programs will get behind it.

All the details of these and other initiatives to keep your season humming are here…

If you haven’t signed up yet, our first ever Club Catch Challenge (22 to 30 October) is a great chance for your junior cricketers to catch as many balls as they can to help other children doing it tough. 
 
With Club Catch Challenge, children see how many balls they can catch (or attempt to catch!) in 30 seconds, every day from 22-30 October 2022. You can register as a club or ask your families to sign up and fundraise individually – it's completely up to you! 
  
This fun new Challenge is a proud partnership between the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, Cricket Australia and grassroots junior cricket clubs like yours. The campaign is also supported by the Hobart Hurricanes, so don’t delay, sign up and get catching!
