Supported by the NSW Government as part of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, the Home Ground Cricket Tour has been designed to give local clubs across NSW a taste of World Cup excitement.
Member for Burrinjuck Katrina Hodgkinson said she is “delighted” the tour will take over Albert Park on Wednesday, January 21 to celebrate the sport of cricket and the role it plays in bringing people together.
“I invite the entire community to get along to this wonderful event to enjoy a great family day out with fantastic activities and entertainment,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
She said that Cootamundra is one of 27 locations across NSW chosen to host the Home Ground Cricket Tour.
“This event will give locals an opportunity to view key pieces from the world-famous Bradman Museum and to get involved with the sport by taking part in hands-on activities conducted by Cricket NSW,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
“This tour to Regional NSW will encourage people to secure their tickets now for a trip to Australia’s home of cricket, the Sydney Cricket Ground, which will host five games including Australia versus Sri Lanka on Sunday, March 8, followed by a quarter and a semi-final,” she said.
The tour will start in Dubbo on December 2 travelling through the likes of Armidale, Tamworth, Wollongong, Braidwood, Yass, Wagga and concluding in Singleton on February 11.
