Steve Christoforidis Hellenic Football Cup
Seven football clubs with the likes of Sydney Olympic, West Sydney Berries, Belmore Hercules, Hurstville City Minotaurs, Gladesville Ryde Magic, Stanmore Hawks Liverpool Olympic and Wollongong Olympic will play a pivotal role in taking part in the Cup and will be playing mini matches to honour former West Sydney Berries star Steve Christoforidis.
There will also be a special Exhibition Game on the day between the Sydney Olympic Old Boys and Canterbury Marrickville Old Boys with a number of ex-NSL stars taking part in what will be a special day for all involved. Familiar names such as George Kalogeras, Steve Tolios, George Bouhoutsos, Spiro Hantzis, John Christou, Archie Kotsopoulos, John Xipolitas, Steve Karavatakis, Zoran Illic, Nick Orlic, Louie Dounis and Peter Katholos are just some of the legends set to be on show on the day.
This day is a legacy in the memory of Steve Christoforidis but also thousands of Greek-Australians who have battled and lost their lives to a silent but deadly killer of males and females in Australia today, ?Mental Illness?.
All proceeds made on the day will go towards helping with the fight against mental illness the institutions include Beyond Blue, St Euphemia Greek Orthodox College, All Saints and St Spirydon to help with counselling youths and also the Greek aged care facility ?To Elliniko Spiti? to help with counselling families.
A special draw was conducted on Monday 17th January at the Bankstown Sports Club where all club representatives were present in the official draw selection which was drawn out by leading Australian-Greek newspaper O Kosmos.
Both the O Kosmos and The Bank of Cyprus have joined in as major sponsors of this wonderful charity event.
