Pad up for All Abilities cricket

Mitch Rodd

THE 2024 Mildura All Abilities Cricket Carnival is fast approaching, promising an exciting and inclusive event at the Mildura Senior College ovals.

Mallee Sports Assembly will be conducting the 2024 carnival on October 17 and 18.

The event provides people with disabilities the opportunity to play cricket with others of similar skill levels in a competitive setting. With the event growing every year, the organisation welcomes both new and returning cricket players to a day filled with fun, action, and excitement.

The event is run in conjunction with Are Able, Mildura Rural City Council, Sunraysia Cricket Association, Mildura Settlers Cricket Club, and Cricket Victoria.

Those looking to participate can submit teams of seven to 10 players (or more) at a cost of $10 per person.

For further information, contact Mallee Sports Assembly at (03) 5021 3464 or email lachlan@malleesportsassembly.org.au.
