The Port Adelaide Cricket Club for the past 2 seasons played a representative Eyre Peninsula team on the West Coast in an exhibition Twenty20 match. Last season saw Port Adelaide travel to Port Lincoln to take on the EP boys at Centenary Oval.

The Port boys were too good making 7/181 with Redbacks player Tim Ludeman smashing 73 in an entertaining innings. In reply EP were reduced to 7/23 with some quick bowling from Matthew Weeks which the home crowd enjoyed. The Eyre Peninsula Academy players also feature during the day with an under 14 & 16 twenty20 match prior to the main game. This season the match is going to be played at Wudinna.

Port Adelaide has a direct link with the Eyre Peninsula, our clubs' country region that includes 7 associations:

This relationship is to strengthen the link between the country zone with the Port Adelaide Cricket
Club and providing opportunities for players with coaching and development opportunities to prosper
in the game of cricket.
