Coffs Coast cricket fans and sport lovers can experience the buzz and excitement of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup when the Regional Roadshow launches at Woolgoolga’s Curryfest tomorrow.
The Regional Roadshow will tour 11 regional locations over the next month in the lead up to the opening Super 12 game between Australia and New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said local sports fans will love the Regional Roadshow and he’s delighted Curryfest will be its first stop.
“The Regional Roadshow brings the excitement of the biggest global sporting event in Australia in 2022 to the Coffs Coast community,” Mr Singh said.
“Featuring a range of interactive activities and displays, including a virtual reality experience of hitting a six at the SCG, attendees will also have the chance to win a number of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup prizes.
“What better place to launch the Regional Roadshow and celebrate the cultures and nations making up the tournament than right here at Curryfest in Woolgoolga.”
Minister for Sport Alister Henskens said the Regional Roadshow is an example of the benefits of the NSW Government’s 10 World Cups in 10 Years initiative.
“Regional NSW is the heartland of cricket in our State, and the Regional Roadshow has hit the sweet spot by providing entertainment and inspiration for bush cricket fans across NSW ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia,” Mr Henskens said.
“Despite having a smaller population than Sydney, regional NSW accounts for around half of the state’s registered players, more than 250 adolescent cricketers in the Cricket NSW pathway system, and produces over 50 per cent of NSW’s contracted professional cricketers.”
