Community gears up for opening charity cricket day at Sandstone Point

The Sandstone Point community is preparing for a vibrant and meaningful day of sport, family fun and fundraising, with a special charity event scheduled for Saturday January 3, 2026 from 3pm to 8pm at the Sandstone Point Sporting Complex. The event aims to bring locals together in support of Beyond Blue, with all proceeds donated to the mental health organisation. 

Festivities will begin with a lively session for the Junior Cricket Blasters, giving young players a chance to showcase their skills and enjoy time on the field. The focus will then shift to the highly anticipated charity T20 match, where the senior men’s team will take on a spirited group of parents. The match is expected to deliver plenty of entertainment, camaraderie and good-natured competition. 

In addition to the on-field action, visitors can enjoy a mega raffle featuring a range of prizes, along with a classic community barbecue offering food throughout the afternoon. Alcohol will be available for purchase, adding to the relaxed atmosphere as families and supporters gather to enjoy the activities. 

Organisers hope the event will attract a strong turnout, foster community spirit while raising valuable funds for a vital cause.
