Bonny Hills-Lake Cathie Cricket Club receives $1000 grant from Sydney Sixers

An initiative of the Sydney Sixers and Toyo Tires, the club who plays in the Hastings River District Cricket Association will receive a $1,000 grant, which will go towards providing junior players with a shirt as part of their annual registration.

The club is one of ten across the Sixers' territory to benefit from the program, which sets out to help develop the next generation of Sydney Sixers stars in the shape of improved diversity and inclusion opportunities, equipment, uniforms, coaching and local promotion of the game.

Toyo Tires' strategy and marketing manager, José Angeles, said they were thrilled to extend their support of Australian cricket to the grassroots level.

"Coming out of another tough stint of COVID-19 lockdowns in NSW, we are honoured to be offering community support in the lead up to summer sport, which marks a milestone in the long-anticipated return to normalcy," Mr Angeles said.

"We've all been doing it tough, but kids have been particularly affected with disruptions to schooling and social development, so we hope that a helping hand from Toyo Tires and the Sydney Sixers keeps the sporting stars of tomorrow looking forward and makes it easier for their families to cheer on from the sidelines."

Alongside the 'Toyo Tires Sixers Community Grants' program, Toyo's support of the Sixers will also extend to a series of fun, 90-minute, cricket-themed activities that connect the club's WBBL and BBL stars with kids from 5 to 13 years of age, dubbed 'Toyo Tires Sixers Super Clinics'.

Sixers fans can catch all the WBBL|07 action LIVE on Fox Cricket and Kayo, with awesome behind the scenes content across the club's social media channels.
