Lucindale hosted a Twenty20 cricket match at the Cricket Club in honour of police officer, Brevet Sergeant Jason Doig on November 17.
Brevet Sergeant Jason Doig was killed in the line of duty at Senior, outside Bordertown last year.
According to SAPOL, the club hosted the event, beginning with a brief ceremony acknowledging Jason’s service, sacrifice and his deep connection to the Lucindale community.
This was followed by an address from Inspector William Humphris, on behalf of the Limestone Coast Local Service Area, and a presentation by Cops for Kids charity of the inaugural Jason Doig community scholarship grant, SAPOL said in a statement.
Following the presentations, both sides competed in a Twenty20 format cricket match.
The event was attended and well-supported by the local community, police and members of Jason’s family.
The Lucindale Cricket Club came away with the win and were awarded the Memorial Shield, which was donated by the Lucindale Lions Club and made by a local carpenter.
