AFL stars pitch in

AFL stars will take on Gembrook Cockatoo’s senior footy side in a Twenty20 cricket match that’s sur
North Melbourne player and Gembrook local Michael Firritto will bring teammates Brent Harvey and Daniel Pratt after he took to the pitch in a similar clash two years ago.
Former St Kilda great Aussie Jones, Saints goal sneak Stephen Milne and Collingwood’s Jarryd Blair and others will all take to the Gembrook Recreation Reserve pitch from 2pm on Sunday 6 February.
The football-netball club hopes the event will raise cash to help achieve its dream of winning this year’s premiership after an eight-point grand final loss to Woori Yallock last season.
The day will also feature a jumping castle and face painting, and the crowd can catch up with their footy favourites for an autograph and a chat.
There will be prizes for crowd catches and a longest kick and handball competition after the match.
