Yooralla customers bowl over international cricket starsYooralla customers from the Benalla region have had the opportunity to meet with international cricket stars from the International Cricket Series. The players from Australia and England will compete for the title at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on the 16th March 2015.
The cricket players participated in a local rural adventure with the Benalla customers, partaking in some yabbie catching at a local stream. After the yabbie catching the teams joined Yooralla customers for a shared BBQ.
The Yooralla Benalla region is very active in local community activities, and regularly participates in events being held around the region. This is a great way for the customers to get out amongst the community and to contribute to the region.
Yooralla customers will be available for interviews and photo opportunities as part of the BBQ.
For further information and photo opportunities please contact:Yooralla Media and Communications ManagerLauren Bradley(03) 9666 4528 or [email protected]
The visit is being coordinated with AUSRAPID, an organisation that promotes active inclusion of people with disability into mainstream sporting activities.
the 17th to 24th of March with the Opening Ceremony held at the MCG on the 16th.Benalla hosted an international tennis match between Australia and USA in January 2014, an event
which was well supported by the Benalla community and the Benalla Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. “After the success of the International Tennis friendly in 2014, AUSRAPID approached local cricket clubs to see if it would be possible to arrange for two teams to play friendly matches against Australia and England. The support has been amazing with not only organising teams to play but also adjusting the competition draw to enable the event to take place.” Robyn Smith CEO Ausrapid.
Teams will arrive in rural scenery and Benalla’s hospitality before returning to Melbourne to take part in the Inas International Cricket Series, which is a mixture of T20 and 40 over matches.
“We know the Benalla Community will make the players welcome and we look forward to seeing everyone at the Benalla Showgrounds and Gardens Ovals on Sunday 15 March.” Trevor Saker, BDCA President.
