SEVILLE and Wandin football/netball clubs will play off for the inaugural Seville War Memorial Cup at Seville on Saturday 6 March.
The match will be a strongly contested pre-season ‘friendly’ between the neighbouring clubs to raise money for the Seville War Memorial fund.
The fund, to build a cenotaph and reflection garden in the heart of Seville, currently sits at $37,000 with a target of $160,000.
The cup match is part of a full day of family activities including kids sporting and social activities, food and drink stalls, a raffle and silent auction, and the main event, the football match starting with a ceremony at 12.30pm.
Seville and Wandin match jumpers, and the match balls, will be auctioned to give the war memorial committee a sporting chance at reaching the target.
The activities start at 11am and run through to 6pm.
Tickets will be available at the gate, or purchase online at www.trybooking.com/180219 – adults $15, seniors $10 with under16s free.
