Making the game all the more special is that it will also double up as a Pink Stumps Day game.

Meant to be held last weekend before rain washed out all grade matches, the pink stumps day will raise money for the McGrath Foundation.

It's a day South Tamworth had discussed doing previously. 2021 turned out to be the right time to kick it off and City United were happy to come on board, too.

"We looked for who we had at No. 1 Oval and asked them. It turned out it was City and they are a great club, too," Brock Morley, who is helping organise the day, said.

The match is set to start at 4pm and the ground will have a carnival-like atmosphere about it.

Everyone is welcome to head down to watch the cricket and help the cause.

There will be a fairy floss machine, a barbecue, pink cakes and lollies for sale as well as 100 clubs and raffles.

Meanwhile on the field, the pink ball will add another dimension to the game.

That's how Morley first got involved: "I mentioned to the captain about a pink ball match and that Tamworth hadn't had one before," he said.

It was a brave call for a batsman and he was expecting the ball to do plenty.

"I picked up the ball and it has a pretty big seam on it. It put me on the back foot a bit but you just have to take it as it is," Morley said.

"It'll probably nip a round a bit more and swing a bit earlier. You'll just have to get through those first few overs."
