ROUND 8 was the annual Beyond Blue round played between Eagles and Saints. It aimed to raise awareness for mental health issues and in particular men’s mental health.
The round was started by Graham “Chops” Worthington who was a founding member of the Saints Baseball Club and also played with the Eagles Baseball Club. This year was the first time the Worthington Cup was contested since 2019 due to COVID, which was won by Saints.
