EP vs Gauteng (in Johannesburg 27 December 2002)
EP vs Free State (in PE 3 January 2003)

As Christmas is only a few weeks away, the Jumbos are appealing to the public to assist them in making it a great Christmas for children who would not otherwise receive gifts by bring along a gift to the two matches that will be played before Christmas. Boxes will be put out at entrance points where spectators can place gifts.

EP Jumbos Captain Carl Bradfield said, " it is our small way of making a difference in the lives of others and we appeal to the public to come out and support us on the playing field as well as support Community Chest by bringing along a gift"

"The EP Jumbos are showing their support to a worthwhile cause and it is hoped that the cricket lovers out there will follow in their footsteps. We appeal to the Port Elizabeth public to come and support both the home team and Community Chest next Sunday" said Community Chest Director Les Kirkland.
