Raiders-Brumbies cricket match for tsunami victims

[thickos]

from raiders.com.au:

04/01/05: The Canberra Raiders have announced today that they will play a charity cricket match against the Brumbies on a date in early February 2005.

Don Furner and Jason Amos from the Raiders are incredibly pleased that the Brumbies have accepted the challenge for such a worthwhile cause. “It was never an issue, the Brumbies were more than happy to support the plan of the Raiders,” Mr Amos said.

“We will be announcing in the next few days the venue for this great event”.

Stars from both teams will be on hand for what should be a memorable game of cricket. “We hope that all football supporters from both codes get behind this event and help the victims of the recent disaster that has devastated our close neighbours over the Christmas period”.

Full details will be advertised in the coming days.

+++++++++++++

Great work. This follows on from the Charity League Day in 2003 to raise funds for the ACT bushfire victims, so well done to the club on a top initiative.

Here's to other clubs pitching in and aiding the worthwhile cause.

Great Stuff

well done both raiders & brumbies

 

[The Observer]

Good work both teams showing the initiative to help out at this difficult time.

A minor quibble, but it would've been cool to see them play a footy match of sorts e.g. Rugby 7s!

Shit, I get to cheer on a union team :-#

Go Brumbies!!!

Good on em both.

 

[rugged]

Even a game of touch would be good.

Raiders and Brumbies did a match I think for the ACT Bushfires
One Half of Union, One half of League.

Probably try something different this time around.

No, the Brumbies refused to participate for the bushfires. It was all league teams.

 

[greeneyed]

And insane... just what did the Raiders do to you to make you hate them so much? You couldn't just say something without a backhander? Or not say anything at all? It's for charity.

 

[ball boy]

no 2005 raiders held a mini world 7's tourniment

 

[greeneyed]

The Raiders probably proposed cricket as the Brumbies refused to play them in 7s last time they were invited for the bushfire 7s.

What?

What you talkin bout willis???

The Brumbies quip or R2005's consistent touch of ignorance?

The latter was a doozy, though typical.

 

[Stagger eel]

well done to both organisations for organising the match.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

What's wrong with cricket? Nothing

What wrong with innsaneink? Everything.

Now that's typical. :lol:

Raiders do something great to help for the event that has devestated the world, and all you can do is criticise it? Poor form.

Roll of the eyes? = Criticising the choice of cricket.

What's your address so I can mail out your Raiders jersey? :lol:

THis really shows how sick in the head you are. It's not about the sport they play, it's about the cause.

 

[innsaneink]

God!! #-o #-o


No, not criticising the choice of cricket, I was stating the obvious, that they were going to play cricket, which if you had read it ......was information contained in the first post.

I was stating they were playing cricket in response to your post.....

Hence my post

Yeah, something like cricket.

.....as it seemed you were oblivious to that fact.

You are an A class idiot, anyone can see I'm not criticising the sport they chose, Im criticising your ignorance to the fact they were playing it.
