“It was a really good day, there was a really good turnout and it’s great to have it back,” DiFede said.
“We raised $5000 in total, that money will feed through the Mooroopna Lions Club which they will put through their mental health channels.”
Sugars, a Haisman Shield premiership captain and three-time A-grade grand final winner at Mooroopna, passed away in 2001.
DiFede said the day was all about coming together as a club and community to raise awareness for mental health and to celebrate the life of their former great.
“It’s about making people aware of mental health and honouring Kym’s life, he was a big part of the club,” DiFede said.
“When someone of his calibre passes so suddenly, when someone so big and strong goes down that path it has an effect on the entire community.”
DiFede said faces old and new pulled on the whites and came together on Sunday.
“It was so good to see some old faces come down, some that haven’t played cricket here for 10 to 20 years,” he said.
“It was a really good game; a great mixture of current and former players came together which was awesome to see.”
