Mullet March

Move over Movember! This March, Wellington's Eastern Suburbs Roosters cricket team will be sacrificing our lids, putting at risk all physical contact with our partners, when we fashion mullets for Te Omanga Hospice and take on a Parliament XI in a charity T20 match - the Mullet Bash.

Mullet March is our way of honouring Lyn Burt, who passed away in October 2018 following a lengthy battle with cancer. Lyn is the mother of the Rooster's founding member Docco. During her fight she spent time at Te Omanga Hospice and the care and compassion she received is something Docco and his family will remember for the rest of their lives. So we got to thinking how we, as a team, could help raise some funds for Te Omanga to ensure it can continue the great work it does and help boost awareness of the massive $10m it needs to raise for its re-build. Growing mullets and having them fashioned on international cricketers that once rocked them was the most obvious option available.
