Vikings in the pink

By Nicole Williams
LYNDHURST Vikings Cricket Club is going pink in support of the McGrath Foundation.
Pink Stumps Day is on 19 February and Lyndhurst Vikings Cricket Club is making the event “Ladies Day”.
Players and the pitch will be decked out in pink and the club is inviting friends and family to join in the fun by wearing pink on the day.
The club will hold raffles and auctions of donated goods and a sausage sizzle to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.
All proceeds will go towards McGrath Breast Care Nurses nationally and increasing breast awareness in young women.
Glenn McGrath, the chairman and co-founder of the McGrath Foundation, said Pink Stumps Day was a great community initiative.
“With support like this from local clubs and their communities, we have an amazing opportunity to really ‘hit a six’ and continue to grow the number of our McGrath Breast Care Nurses nationally,” he said.
“As always we believe that together we can make a difference.”
Lyndhurst Vikings Cricket Club has entered the draw to have a legendary cricketer such as McGrath or Adam Gilchrist attend the day.
The club’s Pink Stumps Day will be held from noon Saturday 19 February at Barry Simon Reserve, Endeavour Hills.
