On the 8th of November 2022, Archie Gray lost his eleven and a half, month courageous battle with brain cancer. Archie was just 17 years of age. An absolutely outstanding and talented cricketer for Western Suburbs Cricket Club, who describe Archie as a "GUN". Archie at the age of 16, debuted in second grade, alongside his elder brother Finn. Archie was a year 11 student at St Patrick’s College Strathfield, who was a friend to so many within the cricketing community.
Archie’s last game of cricket was Western Suburbs vs Manly at Pratten Park, Ashfield and his last 4 days of life were spent at Bear Cottage Manly. For this reason, the 2 clubs have come together to create a spectacular T20 cricketing event, with a mix of current players and yester-year players (celebrities), to celebrate Archie’s passion for cricket and continue to raise awareness of brain cancer through Mark Hughes Foundation.
