The fourth annual Bryce Pollard Memorial cricket match between the Mount Burr cricketers and the Mount Burr footballers is happening on February 3 in the form of a 100 Ball Smash.


All spectators, supporters and cricket lovers are welcome to come and watch the day/night match played under the upgraded lights at the Mick and Jean Walker Oval at Mount Burr.


Tea and full bar facilities will be available at Can Hill with a Pancare fundraising raffle offering 10+ prizes being run throughout the event.


Pancare is also known as the Australian Pancreatic Research Foundation.


The tragic death from pancreatic cancer in 2019 of 30-year-old Mount Burr sportsman Bryce Pollard will be recalled on this occasion.


Some of his former teammates will take part in a cricket match in his memory for the fourth consecutive year.


Bryce represented both Mount Burr sporting clubs each summer and winter and was a popular figure with the Mozzies.


The first such memorial match was played in 2021 and modified rules apply such as no first-ball dismissals.


The actual trophy is the cricket bat once wielded by him.


Some of his former teammates are again expected to travel 450km from Adelaide to take part in the light-hearted match.


Prior to the delivery of the first ball on February 3, speeches of tribute to Bryce will made on the hallowed turf.


In a poignant gesture, Bryce’s photo and his cricket gear and football guernsey will be displayed at the Can Hill viewing area.


The game is strongly backed by his mother Sue and other family members.


Players need to arrive by 5.30pm ready to play at 6pm.
