A Showdown of a different kind will take place at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, 2 February when cricket and football will unite to raise funds for the SA Bushfire Appeal.
Players from both the Adelaide Football Club and Port Adelaide Football Club will join some of cricket’s biggest names in a special T20 cricket match.
100% of net proceeds from ticketing, catering, sponsorship and all other donations for this match will go to the state’s bushfire appeal, which will raise vital funds for people directly affected by bushfires in Cudlee Creek and on Kangaroo Island.
The event comes after a Twitter user named Scott suggested it would be a great way to help those affected by the bushfires – with Adelaide Oval, SACA, SANFL and the two AFL clubs quickly coming together to throw their collective support behind the idea.
Port Adelaide players Tom Jonas and Travis Boak and Adelaide players Rory Sloane and Taylor Walker are among the sporting superstars involved in this match, which promises to be an entertaining afternoon for the whole family.
All tickets will be sold as general admission tickets and will be priced at $20 for adults, $5 for kids and $40 for families. The State Government has also announced that it will be providing free public transport to all those attending the match.
Tickets to the Showdown Bushfire Benefit will go on sale Tuesday, 14 January at 9:00am through Ticketek.
