The idea to play two matches at Albert Park comes from Cootamundra board member Dean Bradley.
Bradley suggested that rather having the Cootamundra Ex-Services Club Magpies and Stockinbingal play as per the draw at Mitchell Park at 1.30pm; they could play after the Crusaders /Mimosa match around 4pm.
Both clubs quickly embraced the idea, meaning that for the first time in this competition, two T20 matches will be played at Albert Park on the same afternoon.
Members of the CDCA board are busy arranging a barbecue and drinks which will make a fitting close to the Christmas-New Year recess.
While the Crusaders remain undefeated, they will expect tough opposition from Mimosa who scored a big win over the Coyotes two weeks ago and currently hold down second spot over Coyotes.
Stockinbingal have moved to the lead in the Dunk Insurance Cup, while the Magpies after a promising start being undefeated in their first four matches, in the last six matches they have only tasted success once on the field and that being a solid win over the Renegades.
