"It's a really good day out for a good cause in memory of a really good friend," Sharon MacDonald said when talking about the Trundle Boxing Day Testicle Festival.
For four years Trundle has held two blue nights and two Boxing Day cricket games in hopes to raise money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation and get boys talking about their health.
"One of our dear friends and work colleagues was diagnosed with prostate cancer so we decided we would do it for Doug," Sharon said.
"He didn't want us to do anything for him so we thought we would do it for the general cause."
The Trundle Testicle Festival started with blue nights before Covid hit and was restarted in 2023 with the Trundle Boxing Day Testicle Festival super 8's cricket at Berryman Oval.
