Money raised for the Foundation goes towards employing breast cancer care nurses around the country and Armidale got behind the cause in a big way.
Through merchandise, raffles and other fundraising efforts, the Association raised more than $2500 with $1000 of that raised by the Uralla-Walcha junior club.
On the field, senior matches got underway before being washed out.

For Hillgrove, Sean Skinner finished with 3-13, Sam Johnson 1-21, Rana Samiullah 1-23 and Sheeraz Ahmad 1-2.
