Cricket and football are set to unite at the Adelaide Oval on February 2 in a bid to raise funds for the SA Bushfire Appeal.
A special Bushfire T20 Showdown cricket match will take place involving representatives from the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Football Clubs, the SANFL and players from the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA).
Crows duo Rory Sloane and Taylor Walker and Power pair Tom Jonas and Travis Boak will play in the Bushfire T20 Showdown.
The match kicks off at 2:30pm ACDT and all funds raised will go to those affected by the bushfires in South Australia.
“The bushfires have been devastating for families across South Australia, and we are thinking of those on Kangaroo Island right now who continue to battle blazes which threaten their homes and livelihoods,” Crows CEO Andrew Fagan said.
“We hope this event can provide an opportunity for footy and cricket fans to come together as a show of support for those affected as well as raise much-needed funds to support the recovery efforts.
“It will also provide an opportunity to recognise the CFS and other emergency service personnel who have sacrificed so much and battled bravely to protect people, property, livestock and wildlife over such a prolonged period of time.”
General admission ticket prices are as follows: Adults $20, Children $5 and Family $40.
Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, 14 January at 9:00am through Ticketek.
