Calling all Tiger fans who like a good, old-fashioned cricket match on a Sunday afternoon!
On November 28 from 1.00pm, current and former Richmond players will take on the Omega Cricket Club, in the battle for the Mike Smith Cup at Bricker Reserve in Moorabbin.
The Tiger team will be captained by none other than the ‘Flea’ (Dale Weightman), and a panel of celebrity umpires will officiate.
Players competing in the match are Troy Simmonds, Andrew Raines, Thomas Roach, Matthew Rogers, Daniel Jackson, Kelvin Moore, and David King.
There will be special appearances on the day from Brian Royal, Neville Crowe, Mark Coughlan, Ray Hall, Andy Kellaway, Matthew Richardson, Andrew Krakouer, Jason Cloke, Travis Cloke, Cameron Cloke, David Cloke, Bernie Quinlan, Doug Hawkins, Kostas Kilias, Nathan Brown (Melbourne) and Ryan Ferguson.
Mike Smith, brother of long serving Richmond trainer Chris Smith, passed away from cancer in July, 2001. The first Mike Smith Cup match held in late 2000, helped to raise money for Mike’s treatment.
Since then, proceeds from this annual event are donated to a different charity chosen each year. This year’s recipient will be ‘Very Special Kids’. You may have heard of them through the ‘Piggy Bank’ appeals they hold each year. They act as a support network and help to improve the quality of life for families of children with life-threatening illnesses.
The best thing is, this fun day is free for all to attend, with loads of activities for kids including a jumping castle, jungle gym, the Victoria police youth bus and MFB Fire Bus for them to explore.
There will also be show bags on offer (some free of charge), food and drink outlets as well as an auction containing a variety of interesting items.
So, pencil this date in your diary and come and join us for what will be a fantastic day! Bring the family along and have a picnic or buy a snag off the ‘barbie’. Otherwise, bring a group of your mates along and have a good laugh! Get into the community spirit and watch the Richmond boys take on the Omega Cricket Club, in their quest to retain the Mike Smith Cup. We look forward to seeing you there.
