The Merrivale Cricket Club (MCC) takes great pride in its efforts of using our platform to push a cause that is greater than ourselves to inflict real change.

​

The McGrath Foundation and its efforts to raise funds for Nurses to support Cancer patients and their families is a cause that runs deep in our club. Unfortunately many members of our club have been touched at some point by someone with the disease. A mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a friend, no matter whom; it is one person too many.

​

The MCC chooses to align itself with the McGrath Foundation's goal and ideals each season. We run our own form of Pink Stumps to demonstrate our connection with the disease, its patients, its survivors, those who it has taken and their families.

 

Last year marked the first year of our Inaugural Pink Stumps day playing shirts, which were worn by all grades. Our Premier side donned the shirt in their Pink Stumps match against Dennington and the Pink Lady match against Nestles. With so much love from players and supporters for the shirts, we wanted to bring them back this year but go deeper again.

​

This edition of our Pink Stumps shirts will be played all in One day fixtures, allowing for more colour to be used and this time a whole kit being made up for the big day.

A big thanks to Westvic Waste & Recycling, QX3, Jeremy Burgess and Ron Media Design for their contributions that brought this all together.
