A week before the start of the Cricket World Cup, former Australian captain Steve Waugh will return to St Clair Oval for Waugh in the West Series IV Twenty20 cricket match.
To be held on Friday 6th February, 2015 the Waugh in the West match will pitch Steve Waugh’s All Stars against Mark’s Mixers – a team led by local media identity Mark Soderstrom.
Local players from the Grange Cricket Club will also take part in the match alongside a few local celebrities.
Former Australian and South Australian cricketer Wayne Phillips will again emcee the event with former cricketer KG Cunningham.
St Clair Project Director Brian Virgo said Waugh in the West had established itself as one of the best supported free community events in the Western suburbs of Adelaide.
“The match is fun to watch with Steve taking to the field with both bat and ball and putting on a show for the crowd,” said Mr Virgo.
“Waugh in the West picks up some of the elements that have made T20 cricket so successful with big hitting cricket coupled with music, dancers and other attractions around the ground.
“There will be plenty on offer for families with free entertainment including kids face painters, jumping castle, roller skating, an animal farm and competitions run by the local junior sporting clubs.
“Next year, we’re aiming to break the attendance record and attract more than 5,000 people to the event.”
Waugh in the West is a free community event hosted by St Clair developer’s AVJennings.
Spectators are welcome to bring along a picnic or purchase food and drinks from one of the many participating stalls.
The event will also raise money for the Steve Waugh Foundation which works to improve the quality of life for Australian children and families affected by rare diseases.
