The McGrath Foundation raises money to place McGrath breast care nurses in community’s right across Australia, as well as increasing breast awareness in young Australian women.

The day commenced with a pink stumps raffle for the kids. 

Kath Barber from Cricket NSW kindly travelled up from Tamworth to attend the day and brought with her lots of cricketing goodies for the kids. 

The junior committee then presented each junior participant with a trophy to celebrate the progress and improvements that all of the kids had made. This was followed with a barbecue lunch that was kindly prepared by Rhonda Fowler and Michelle Donges.

The Senior Cricket Association was then joined on the field by some keen juniors and a pink stumps game was played. 

It was great to see juniors bowling and fielding against the seniors, with some wickets going to the juniors. 

At the close of play the day raised a total of $500 which will be donated to the McGrath Foundation. 

Special thanks needs to go to Kath Barber from Cricket NSW and our sponsor for the day, the Tenterfield Tavern who donated meal vouchers for the game. 

In addition, the committee would like to especially thank Jason and Mitchell Austin for getting the very damp wicket ready after the heavy rain during the week. Without your hard work, the day would not have been so enjoyable and successful.

In the senior cricket last Wednesday the Sixers played the Heat in the semi-final of the 2014-15 cricket season with the winner going through to the final. 

The Heat won the toss and elected to bat and scored 126 runs after 25 overs with Mick Parker making 57 runs for the team.

The Sixers started on the back foot with Manser bowled for zero off the bowling of Steve Brown. 

The Sixers batting this season has been inconsistent and with key batsmen Ryan Whitton and Tom Butler both away, the chase was made all the harder. 

However, when James Strachan came to the crease the Heat knew that he had been finding the scoring of runs difficult, but when the first ball was hit to the fence for four they knew he meant business. 

He was joined by workmate Marty Marshman and the two put on a show. The Sixers needed over 30 runs from the final three overs and the Heat still looked confident. 

This was until Strachan hit six boundaries including a massive six as well as tidy running between the wickets to make 38 runs off just 14 balls. 

The scores were tied with one ball remaining and the cool headed Marshman pushed the ball off his pads down to fine leg to win the game. 

The Sixers win was only the second for the team this season, but now sees them in the final against the always in form Strikers. 

The Sixers will enter tonight's match with a chance to snatch the grand final win, so all pressure is on the Strikers to prevent the upset. 

Tonight's game will be played over the normal 25 over innings and commence at 6pm at Shirley Park.
