Lots of action tomorrow as Parkes host women’s gala day

Parkes United will kick off the day at 10.30am playing Bathurst Souths.

A special fundraiser will be held to raise awareness for Muscular Dystrophy. 

The United ladies will wear red socks (donated by Parkes Mensland) during the match. 

There will be 100 clubs, a raffle and a donation box. 

Michael Melhuish will be there to cheer the girls on during their match with all proceeds going to Muscular Dystrophy.

It is a must win game for Parkes after their loss against Bathurst City last weekend.

Souths are a very competitive team who are playing very strongly this season.

There was little between the two sides when they met in the semi-finals last season with the match going to a shoot out.

Coach Aaron Huppatz will want his troops re-focused on their structure and winning the 50/50 contests tomorrow.

“We lost focus last weekend and it cost us the match,” Huppatz said.

“We can’t afford to do that against Souths who have brilliant strikers and can score goals at any opportunity.

“Our youngsters have really stepped up for us this season with Paige Hay in excellent form in recent weeks,” he said.

Parkes Hockey encourages all locals to go over to Stephen Davies Field to watch a great day of womens hockey. 

There will be a canteen operating all day run by the Under 13 representative teams.
