One of the great songs. He's been in good form this morning, Lincoln. Bit of third-eyed blind. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Bit of Dave Dobbins. He's going well, our man. Speaking of going well, this man is as well. It is the coach of the Glenaukey Nights Soccer Club, James Sherman, who's got his team into the Australia Cup, which is coming up in a few weeks. I'm also going very nicely, too, in the local MPL competition. Sharma, good morning. Welcome to the show. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Mate, we've got you on because you've got something pretty close to your heart and important to promote, which is coming up. Tell us all about it. Yeah, well, tomorrow we've got a big game against Devon Port Strikers. And after that, I've organized a fundraiser for a little girl called Luna from Brisbane. She's got neuroblastoma, which is a really rare form of cancer. Luna's had a pretty rough run of it, pretty much straight away. And, yeah, we're looking to put some money towards her cause to get the best treatment possible in the United States. Great cause, James. What's the connection with Luna? So, pretty much, you know, I found Luna and her story on the Rare Cancer Australia website. My mum, last year, passed away from a rare cancer. And, obviously, an awful situation for anyone that has to go through that sort of thing. But certainly one of the hardest parts of that journey was finding out some of the options for mum and the costs associated with them. Just astronomical in terms of the amounts of money required for quite often the best treatment. And Luna is going through that sort of situation herself. So, her and her family are really having to battle to find the funds to get her the best treatment. And, yeah, I just feel like everyone can probably help out in some way and I'd like to do that. Mate, that's fantastic. Well done to you for getting behind that. That's really a good thing to do. Hey, big game, as you said, tomorrow. The strike is obviously very hard-tuned to beat any time you come up against them. But I just feel this year's MPL is closer than ever, isn't it? It's really up for grabs the title. Certainly, it's been one of those seasons so far where the top teams haven't really managed to get the better of one another too often. It's starting to potentially show now, I think, in the middle to the back half of the season, teams are getting a little bit of an edge. And hopefully we have that over, Devanport tomorrow. And then, of course, the website that our listeners can go to or do you just want them to come along to the game tomorrow against the strikers? So if you want to head on to the Glandorkey Nights Facebook page, there is a link to an event called Unite for Luna. And it's a tri-booking website. You can pre-purchase a ticket so all proceeds will go towards Luna. Or if you'd just like to make a donation, you can head to the Rare Cancers Australia website and really simple and easy on their page. They're on their website. There'll be a profile and Luna's profile is on that. And you can just make a tax-deductible donation via that. But yeah, I mean, really anything you could possibly do would be amazing. Brilliant mate, before I let you go, Australia Cup, only a few weeks away now, which is tremendously exciting. Of course, you qualify through the LACASL Jack Cup here in Tasmania and then play in a national competition. You must be pumped to be heading on to the big stage. Yeah, look, certainly the last couple of days probably started to turn my attention towards that. Obviously, we've got a big game tomorrow. But yeah, we're looking forward to getting up and playing against Northwest Sydney's spirit. So I think it's going to be a big challenge for us. We've got the potential to cause an upset there, I think. We'll have to have a little bit of luck and be bang on the money throughout 90 minutes. You never know what can happen. Well, mate, massive time ahead for your club. We'll down and organising this fundraiser and good luck against the strikers tomorrow. And thanks for having a chat to us on Brecky this morning. Take care. James Sherman, the coach of the Glunalki. He's joining us on the show. Harkorts open line, Harkorts results for you. Texting here, it says morning gents. Very disappointing that once again, we have a JJ's and Hurricane's home game scheduled on the same day at the same time. I think there's actually a couple. There might be two, I think, that clash, which is a little disappointing if you want to go and watch both. But I'm not sure what the way around it is, Tim, because as we spoke to Krista, I'm fitting in about before. It's all about venue or availability. I'm sure that's the same with Blunston Arena as well. It's just the fixture on the national scale as well. It's just a very tricky thing to navigate. Certainly is. Seems to be getting harder and harder by the year, to be honest. But it is disappointing. You would have thought a little bit of communication could sort that out, couldn't it? Pretty quickly. Yeah, but it's a jigsaw puzzle, isn't it? You've got to, it's not just Tazzy is the focus. Is it for Cricket Australia or the MBL? It's the whole competition. But even now, even now, that they've been released. Could we just move one an hour or two? We'll move them both. Matt and Leonard Valley goes on to say also, can we get a campaign going to get Hobart hurricanes to start using cane train again hashtag, which the fans love using. Instead of the other stuff they've run with the last few years, looks like they're going with force of nature this year, which immediately bring the canes to mind when you hear it. We take control. It's worth a favor. I don't want to force some danger. I might ride a tune for the strikers this year, Brenner. I reckon we need to get to a break, too. That's what I reckon. Yeah, you would rip it off, wouldn't you? You would and you'd claim it as your own. I could just say it now. You can text us as well on the hard court side. Excuse me, you know these stories. What? yourself and Stuart Williamson, the physio, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that one. But then you'd try and claim it again. I'd be ripping it off. I'd be using it again. It is the tune, Tim. It's the tune to Ansco Marching, Tim. It's not your song. You've gone all right. Oh, four, three, seven, double five, two, five, three, five. It's the hard courts open line.
