Morwell Football Netball Club will be taking full advantage of their newly constructed netball facilities next weekend when they host Pink Ribbon Round.
The club will raise much-needed funds for the Breast Cancer Network.
Round six of the Gippsland League between Moe and Morwell will be played at Morwell Recreation Reserve.
The club will donate $10 for every A grade netball and senior football goal scored on the day to the Breast Cancer Network.
Netballers will show support for the cause by wearing pink bibs and playing with a pink ball while footballers will take to the ground in pink socks.
Throughout the day, raffles and other fundraising activities will be run and a free high tea will be served to mothers in the clubrooms during the senior game.
For Morwell netball coordinator Claire Allison and sister Rachel, the fundraiser is part of a personal mission to support the cause after their own mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.
Claire tipped the highlight of the day would be the eagerly anticipated mother-daughter match, scheduled to follow the A grade game.
She said the inaugural mother-daughter match proved a hit last year when it formed part of the day’s fundraising efforts for Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision.
“The mothers somehow managed to pull off a thrilling one-point victory against their talented daughters in a heart-stopper match,” Allison said.
“Although, they may have been assisted by a larger than usual number of players taking to the court in the dying minutes of the game, so we may have to review rules for the upcoming face-off.”
