THE much-loved Pink Stumps Day is back for another year with Kin Kin locals set to battle Noosa Council staff for the win.
The 12-man teams are yet to be announced but rumours suggest the council staff who live in Kin Kin are highly sought-after and are currently caught in a tug of war between council team captain Cr Joe Jurisevic and Kin Kin captain Anita Poteri.
Anita said the Kin Kin team was looking strong with the council even asking for the locals to have kids on their team to make for a more even playing field.
Cr Jurisevic said he wouldn’t be drawn into speculation and refused to comment on the rumours.
“Rumours are just that, rumours,” he said.
An umpire has been chosen for the day but Anita said the identity of the cricketer was top secret until closer to the day, but she could confirm the person was a current active player.
The event will be held at the Kin Kin Oval on Sunday 19 February, from 2pm, and all funds raised on the day will be donated to the McGrath Foundation.
There will be a great cricket game on offer, plus raffles and catering by Black Ant Gourmet.
Last year more than 280 people helped raise over $3000 at the event.
Event organisers hope to have a big turnout on the day.
