The annual Mike Smith Cup cricket clash between Richmond Football Club and Omega Cricket Club will be held on Sunday, November 26 at G.R. Bricker Reserve in Moorabbin from 1pm onwards.

With the popular 20/20 limited-overs format, it once again shapes as a terrific afternoon’s entertainment for the whole family.

There will be a sporting memorabilia charity auction, a $2000 ‘last ticket out’ draw, jumping castles, show-bags, face-painting, police and fire vehicles on display, plus plenty of great give-aways.

All money raised from the auction will be donated to the ‘Tigers In Community’ program.

The Tiger team will be led by veteran stars Joel Bowden and Matty Richardson, and they are promising exciting cricket from the Punt Road boys.

A panel of celebrities and players from other AFL clubs will rotate as captains throughout the match.

• The 2006 Mike Smith Cup is proudly sponsored by the Highett Football Club.

[Moi]

Only for an hour.
Polak is a skinny runt lol
Took a couple of pics - probably didn't come out - will check later.
I'm up to no good at the moment and it might take me a while 
No, not that lol

For Julz


Beanpole Polak




Sorry, that's all I got - wasn't in taking picture mood today lol

[mightytiges]

Isn't that beanpole Gus? 

8/194 off 23 overs ain't bad either going by the scoreboard. Do you remember who got the most runs for us when you were there Moi?

[Moi]

Someone told me it was Polak lol
How would i know hahaha!

Score - no idea - left early

I know Rainsey got a catch first ball of the Omega innings, but for some reason the guy didn't walk.

[blx]

thats Angus Graham 

[Moi]

thats Angus Graham 

Sue me lol
Well, I've seen Angus before and he never looked that good if it's him lol
But if you say it's him, who am I to argue 'cos i wouldn't have a clue

Seems this will be the last year of the Tigers' involvement on a team level.
They said next year will be an AFL All Stars format
Good for them, I won't be going.

Well done Tiges for their involvement - made over $50,000 for their efforts.

Why change a successful annual event ???

[Moi]

Either the Tiges don't want to do it any more or just getting greedy, I guess.
The format's fine as it is
Be disappointed if it's our boys who don't want to do it - they rarely do stuff like this where the kids can come along and mingle.
Family day, they're surrounded by guards FFS or sitting behind a table signing autographs.
This is/was a great day to let the kids get up close and say hi in a 'very' informal setting.
