The initiative was organised by the Cricket NSW Foundation, in conjunction with Transport for NSW, and provided youngsters who have undergone tough times due to recent flooding with a wonderful opportunity to watch elite cricket, meet their heroes and take part in on-field activities during the lunch break.
Transport for NSW, an Official Partner of Cricket NSW, provided the Cricket NSW Foundation with a grant to pay for the bus to travel the 115 km’s from Forbes to Orange and back again.

Andrew Glasson, president of the Forbes Junior Cricket Association said the impact the visit had on the ids was profound.
“It was a fantastic experience. Everyone had so much fun!,” Glasson said.
“Emma Hughes and Hannah Darlington were great to talk to and the children loved playing with them on the field during the lunch break too!”
