We’ve had a fantastic response so far, with many already signed up to play, umpire, and score. However, we’d love to welcome even more participants and volunteers. Whether you’d like to take part on the field, support from the sidelines, or help behind the scenes, your involvement will make the day all the more memorable.
This event is about more than just cricket – it’s a celebration of community. We encourage you to bring along family and friends for a day filled with great cricket, good company, and plenty of fun.
We are deeply grateful to Mr Williams, his colleagues, and the School for their generous support in hosting this event at Rokeby Sports Ground. It promises to be a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories with friends and family.
