It was for the women a rare chance to play under lights and they loved it.
They also out hit the men for sixes, Kellett noting that Renae Madams launched one over the fence on the Kable Avenue side of No.1 Oval.
Another memorable moment from the game was vets' patron Doug Crowell having a trundle.
The game was in aid of the local branch of the Rural Fire Service. The final amount is still being tallied up, but Kellett reckoned they would have raised around $1500.
"The firies much appreciated the support that we've given them," he said.
A few even suited up and showed off their cricketting skills.
