Australia Day Family Celebration and Twenty20 Match

On Australia Day, Tuesday 26th January 2010 at Domeney Reserve, POCC will host an intra-club Twenty20 Match for the juniors and seniors.

The Junior Twenty20 will be a parent/son match for the U12-U14, with modified rules for everyone to have a fair go and fun. The match will begin at approx. 2pm and will be followed by the Senior Twenty20 (probably not a parent/son match).

We need to get an idea of players who would be available to play on this day. To register your availability and for further information please contact Lidija - POCC Junior Co-ordinator.
