St Patrick's Junior Football Club set for 15th annual Pink Socks Day

St Patrick's Junior Football Club will stage Pink Socks Day at Xavier High School Oval on Sunday, with proceeds donated to the Albury Wodonga Cancer Centre.

The club has raised more than $20,000 since it started the concept in 2007 and has also supported Brave Hearts on the Murray and the Leukaemia Foundation.

St Patrick's takes on Corowa-Rutherglen in under-12s, 14s and 16s matches, with all players and umpires to donate $10 and wear pink socks on the day.

A pink football is used for the under-16s game and goal umpires will wave pink flags.

St Pats will also host a cake and biscuits stall and the major raffle is a wheelbarrow full of donated items.

A special visit from "Pinkabelle" is also set to be a highlight for the kids.

"I started it when a friend was diagnosed with breast cancer whose father had coached my husband at St Pats many years ago," event founder Carmel Duck said.

"She's going really well now and she's happy to see it's still going.

"I love the fact the club has taken it on and have kept doing it and Garry (Renshaw) has been involved in it every single year."

The under-12s match commences at 10am, followed by the 14's at 11.30am and 16's at 1pm.
