With the GPS competition in recess for the Christmas holidays, the team will play St Patrick’s College Strathfield this Saturday on SJC No 6 in a one day match. Saturday is a very special day with the 1st and 2nd XI teams taking part in a Pink Stumps Day promotion to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation. There will be plenty of pink around the Park as the boys wear pink caps and apply the pink zinc cream. Donations for the McGrath Foundation, which funds Breast Care Nurses and raises breast awareness in young people, can be made on the Joeys 2nd XI Cricket Fundraiser page:
