π Maitland District Cricket Association is proud to announce our inaugural Mental Health Round, proudly supporting Beyond Blue. π
For the first time, the MDCA will dedicate a competition round on Saturday 24th October, 2026 to raising awareness of mental health and wellbeing, while supporting the incredible work of Beyond Blue.
Cricket is much more than a gameβit brings people together, creates lifelong friendships, and provides a support network both on and off the field. Mental health affects everyone, and by working together we can help break the stigma, encourage conversations, and remind those around us that they are never alone.
We encourage all affiliated clubs to get involved in any way they can. Whether it's wearing blue, holding a minute's reflection, fundraising, checking in on a teammate, or simply starting a conversation, every effort helps make a difference.
To support this initiative, the MDCA has established an official Beyond Blue fundraising page. If you would like to make a donation, simply copy & paste the link on the flyer below. Every dollar raised will go directly to Beyond Blue to help provide vital mental health support and services across Australia.
Together, let's make our inaugural Mental Health Round a memorable one.
π Check In. Speak Up. Look Out.
