Amidst the carnival atmosphere of the 2015 Cricket World Cup, another high-class cricket match involving staff from Master Builders and MBA Insurance Services went off without a hitch on the evening of Monday 23rd February. Sixes were hit, balls bowled and sausage sizzled but, most importantly, much-needed funds were raised for breast cancer awareness.

We offer our sincere thanks to match sponsors Chase Underwriting and DG Global who lent their names to the opposing teams, the Chase All-Stars and the Global Mavericks. Mavericks captain and Englishman Matt Loughlin was delighted to have much cooler weather this year, recalling 2014’s scorching 40-degree game day.

All-Stars captain Ash Nichol won the toss and elected to bat, as per Aussie tradition. The fun and competitive match was interrupted only by the occasional rogue canine bolting for untended sausages, and progressed resolutely towards a final ball finish, at which point the Mavericks captain, with daylight fading fast, scrambled the required two runs for victory.

Thanks to match fees, the sale of food and drink and, most of all, our sponsors, we raised $2305 for the McGrath Foundation. All players left the oval looking forward to raising even more money at the next Big Bash in 2016.
