This June long weekend, we are turning the football pitch into a platform for hope.

In memory of my brother, Ross, who passed away from Leukaemia 30 years ago, I am partnering with the South Australian Amateur Soccer League (SAASL) to host a special charity match: Playing for Ross.

As the host of The Local Game and the SAASL Podcast, I am bringing my two shows together for the ultimate light-hearted charity soccer match. Serving as the curtain-raiser for the Inter Association Amateur Challenge Final on Sunday, June 7, we’re bringing together SA soccer legends and familiar faces to see who takes the title—all for a cause that supported my family during our most difficult time.

Our Goal

We aim to raise $10,000 for the Childhood Cancer Association. Funds raised will provide vital support to South Australian children and their families, ensuring no one has to walk that path alone.

How to Support

Donate: It only takes a minute—any amount, large or small, helps us reach our target and support families facing the reality of cancer every day.

Attend: Join us at Smith Partners Stadium on Sunday, June 7, to see the match and contribute to the donation tins.

Thank you for helping us honour Ross’s memory and supporting the incredible work of the CCA. Your generosity truly makes a difference!
