The Kin Kin community was in the pink again on Sunday taking the win from Noosa Council in the annual Pink Stumps Day.

With 90 runs in the bag at half time Noosa Councillors were quietly confident of success but the home team triumphed with 121 runs in its allotted 20 overs in the second half on the Kin Kin Oval.

It was a great turn out for a fun day that raised more than $4000 for the McGrath Breast Cancer Nurses Charity.

And while most came for a good time some were there for the cricket with a few stand out players, thanks mostly to the juniors and a tradition of friendly competition.

“There’s a strong held rivalry,” Cr Joe Jurisevic joked. “Everything is on the line.”

The event was brought together by organisers Wanda Jardine and Anita Poteri with help from many others who donated raffle prizes, helped with the barbecue and baked cakes.
