Details:

Richie: Welcome to the BSS (Brighton State School) for the first and inaugural Pink Stumps Day for the Empire. Here it raise money for the McGrath Foundation. This is a cracking match between the Emperor's XI and The Death Stars. Both teams are here to win and ready for an explosive match. Much like Alderaan.

Bill: Aw-haw-haw. Too soon Richie. Too soon.

Tony: Shut up Bill. Well the wicket has been tested and it is hard. I can't even stick my key in there. Should make for tricky conditions. And there is Lord Vader out for the toss of the coin with the captains and......Heads Craig "The BIDS" Biddle won the toss and has elected to bat.

Bill: Risky move that fellas but I think not a bad one. Let's see how it plays out.

**Fast foward**

Bill: He's out. Apok is out. Bowled with a marvelous low bouncer. What's this? He's throwing his hands up. He is not happy. Not happy my friends and...oh no Lord Vader is coming out. Vader is not happy.

Tony: And that's the end of that. Vader has implemented the force choke rule and Apok is out of there...straight to the morgue. I tell you what and we think the 3rd umpire is harsh in our games.

**Fast foward**

Richie: And that wraps up the innings for the Emperor's XI. 2 for 2 hundred and 22. Ok just kidding. I just really like that number combo. All out for 9/92. Well I still got one 2 in there fellas.

Tony: And now for The Death Stars to open with Cutter and Cyclops. Rumored to be a very classy combination.

**Fast foward**

Tony: What do have here out on the field??

Bill: Aw-haw-haw it's a streaker boys. Look at him go. The players are in disbelief. No one wants to touch him/

Tony: And here comes security. Nutz has got by the gangoolies and is escorting him off the field.

Richie: Needs to more of that don't you think boys.

Tony: All good for a little bit of fun but my retinas will never be the same.

Bill: I definitely saw a bad moon rising over there fellas.

Tony: Shut up Bill.

**Fast foward**

Tony: And here comes the Gamorean Guard. Batting at number 3 this could be interesting.

Bill: Aw yes he had more guts that Big Merv my friend. Now look at him go! 4, 4, 1, 4 and oh no there seems to be an issue. Dredd has looked to have popped his shoulder. Wait he is going to stay on and play. This is unbelievable!!!

Tony: The courage of that big piggy just makes you proud and oh no a mistake and Cutter has run the GG out. So brave and to oiut like that is just a shame. Cutter will owe him a beer in the sheds for that complete cluster...

Richie: And we'll be right back after this commercial break.

**Fast foward**

Tony: And here we are in the 16th over.

Bill: The Death Stars are all over this one Tony. Due to the batter exploding the previous ball like a mini Death Star.

Richie: Too soon Bill. Too soon.

Bill: Sorry Richie, but with the new ball the Death Stars have just smashed the Emperor's XI bowling attack all over the park. It has been a clinical decimation and they are within 5 runs to win this.

Tony: And that is a 4 to the boundary. Scores are locked at 92 runs with 3.4 overs to play. Apok to bowl, he has been expensive with the ball but trying hard and that is out of the cricket ground.

Bill: That's a 6! What a great way to finish of a great innings from Cutter. He has been good with the ball, great with the bat so it is fitting that he finishes the match in such style.

Richie: And that is it. The Death Stars win 3/98 against the Emperor's XI 9/92. What a great game.

Tony: It looks like the man of the match is going to go to that big piggy. The fatty boom-ba-latty. Our favourite Gamorean Guard. Dredd. Not only did he get the second highest score on 29, with a popped shoulder, but he had an amazing day as the wicket keeper getting a good stumping out of Oigen.

Richie: We would like to thank everyone that turned up to watch the game.

Macca's Brackenridge for supplying all the sausages.
Brighton State School for the use of the venue.
Mammasith for all her work in organising this with the school
Cobra for donating all the drinks and the main raffle prize from Coca Cola of the signed bat from the QLD Bulls.
Moxxxie for raising the most at her work and the use of the photo booth.
All the Pink Ladies that helped run the food and raffle areas.
All the Support crew for helping the troopers.
TheWolf and his camera crews for filming.
And to the troopers who turned up to play in a very fun and successful day.

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.

Richie: This is Richie, Tony and Bill signing off and we hope to see you all next year.

Badadaar daar daar dat dat dar dat!

Charity Funds Raised: At the moment it is $2575. More to come I think.

Injuries / Malfunctions: Lots of armour bites. Dredd popped out his shoulder half way through batting and still got the second highest score. Apok got forced choked for bad sportsmanship.

Public Incidents: There was a streaker on the field. Some crazy TK did a nudie run out on the field. Eyes were seared with the image and many a stomach was churned. Vader has ask Boba Fett to find the culprit....disintegration is very much allowed.

Mission Status: All kinds of AWESOME!!!!

Photos: Links to come. Video to be done soon.

Full score sheet to come.

Well done Dread! When Apok told me you popped the shoulder out, it gave me a true appreciation of the face you made in the middle of the pitch between overs. You're a madman.

Congratulations everyone. Cant wait to watch the edited footage!
