Last week we watched an Interstate afl match. These matches are no longer on the agenda but the powers that be organised it as a fund raiser for the bushfire relief.
The boys played either for Victoria, the home of footy or The All Stars which was a team made up from the other state origins. Four players from my team played, it was the best of the best. After leading most of the game, the Vice ended up running away with it.
Coles donated $5000 every time there was a centre bounce, there were over thirty goals kicked so lots of molar there, another company donated $10 per person in the audience, over fifty one thousand.
The jumpers and the balls were auctioned off and just over eight million dollars was raised. Some of the money is being used to help out communities rebuild their sporting facilities, a large percentage was given over to Red Cross.
Many of the volunteers, firefighters, SES, police, ambos etc were invited to attend. It was a good night alround.
